Three books conveying war, change, and love.
About the Dystopia book set
Designed with beautiful, careful hand lettering and abstracted textures, the Dystopia Book Set features three book cover designs crafted to represent their similar stories: dystopian societies and social matters ranging from war, change, and love. With a range of different tools from pens, brushes, and inks, each cover design experiments with the lettering of different strokes, hand positions, and colors to convey the story within.
The Dystopia Book Set featured books are Cinder, The Giver, and Matched. While each book carries its own story, characters, and ending, these three stories all challenge their established dystopian societies.
The art of hand lettering for Dystopia was accompanied with long hours of practice and trial and error. Each book cover design is achieved with the process of repetition and different ideas and materials—from the lettering and the textures.
Representing war, change, and love, the colors red, white, and black resonated throughout the book series. From a spin-off dystopia tale of Cinderella to the structure of a dystopian community and a dystopian love story, Dystopia represents the chaotic essence of dystopian societies.
All of the beautiful textures created for the Dystopia Book Set vary in ink and materials from sewing string, thread, brushes, and gum bristles. Combined images with different texture experimentations developed new compositions and experimentation.
