A set of three lettering based book covers designed for the Red Queen series by Victoria Aveyard. Informed by the series’ themes of rebellion, growth, and decay, the lettering is progressively chaotic and experimental. These covers additionally incorporate illustrations that reflect symbolism throughout the books, done in a grunge manner to compliment the lettering.
Lettering Process
The subject of the book series was a major consideration throughout the lettering process. Thus, the lettering was experimentally done and reflective of the dark undertones of the series. Tools used in this process include brush pen, fountain pen, calligraphy pen, and more.
Illustration Process
The illustration process consisted of experimenting with different mediums such as watercolor, acrylic paint, and gouache. Ultimately, the illustrations were made in support of the lettering and to represent symbolism throughout the series.
