The Catcher in the Rye

Comments: This specific book cover focuses on the confusing psyche of The Catcher in the Rye’s main character, Holden Caulfield. Combining Holdens unusual thoughts and his disaffection for growing up, Holden alienates himself. The cover carries this message through the uninspired silhouette and the mess inside of it.

Project: Book Cover • p.2

Comments: This book cover focuses strictly on type. The type is used in a scattered and partially foggy manner. Much like the way the main character, Holden Caulfield thinks in The Catcher and the Rye.

The Great Gatsby

Comments:This book cover displays the silhouettes of a married couple and a love affair from that couple. In The Great Gatsby, A past lover, and a current lover are fighting over a woman named Daisy. The green background mereges into the silhouettes because Daisy had the green light on her lawn that could be viewed from the other side of the bay at Gatsbys residence.
