Harry Potter Book Jackets

Final justification: My main aim was to highlight a key object or theme from each movie. I wasn’t fixated on upholding the traditional Harry Potter look and themes (eg. Harry Potter logo and font, gothic blackletter style)

- I chose tactile sand typography for the first book to reflect Voldemort turning into dust when he touched the philosopher’s stone. I crafted the ampersand and philosopher’s stone from various watercolours which I then put into indesign to fit the shapes.

- I chose illustration for the second book as I wanted the basilisk to be the main focus with the script font inside taking the shape of the snake. Drawn in felt tip to mimic the ink writings from Tom Riddle’s diary.

- I chose tactile embroidery typography for the last book to represent Harry travelling across the fabric of time using the time turner. I chose to embroider ‘Harry Potter’ in the branches of the whomping willow as I personally recall this as a significant object from the movie. The maroon and orange thread is also representative of Gryffindor’s house colours.
