Astonish Yourself – Book Cover Design

This project is featured on the profiles of: Martha Constantinou Briggs

Cover 1 (Simple)

This design was inspired by how interesting minimalism can be. In the book, the author encourages the readers to look at life in a different way and the world won’t look the same again. Focus on things you wouldn’t normally focus on, and you’ll start to notice more aspects of life you never knew existed. By placing the information vertically on the front and back covers, and horizontally on the spine, I challenge the reader to change their perspective.

Cover 2 (Colourful)

This design was inspired by pixels and the fact we have to zoom in to see them, just like we have to zoom in to see life’s details sometimes. The image is a pixelation of a landscape painting, since the author encourages us to see a landscape as a stretched canvas.
