For this project, I had to create a book cover for the novel "The Book Thief". I aimed for a more macabre theme to convey the book’s recurring focus on death. The book cover uses bold colours and lines. The front cover features a shadowy silhouette of the main character, Liesel. She stands against a backdrop of red shaped like fire to symbolize the book burnings that take place in the story. In the darkness of the negative space of the flame and her shadow, the cloaked figure represents death. I did this because the book is written from Death’s perspective, death being a major theme of the book. I used these colours and a white chalky font to give it a haunted feeling which still looks modern.
