Book Series - Covers

The goal of this project was to take 3 unexpected books and make a series out of them. The series of books is unified through art direction. I wanted to show the duality in each of the book. This is achieved by a split right through the middle of each book representing the two sides of each conflict. In Life of Pi it is the fight is between surviving the ocean while also struggling with personal spirituality. Anthem is the struggle of the individual in a society that has done away with all individualism. Farewell to Manzanar is the story of Japanese Americans who were put into internment camps and the conflict of being proud Americans treated like criminals by the country they are natural citizens of. I used my own photos for Anthem and Life of Pi. I felt that it was important to incorporate my photography because it made the project more personal. For Farewell to Manzanar I used photos taken from Manzanar, and left them in back and white to show the history of the photos.
