BOOK COVER DESIGN
Around the World in 80 Days
I took a lot of inspiration from vintage travel posters to create the design for this classic, "Around the World in 80 Days".
The cover’s typography mirrors the style of old posters, featuring an arched title text style,
reminiscent of hand-drawn designs from the era. On the front cover, I designed a rounded-corner rectangle with four distinct sections,
each showcasing a key setting from the book: Big Ben for the journey’s start in London, an elephant representing their time in India,
a pagoda for the Asian leg, and a bridge scene symbolizing America.
The back cover replicates this shape in a solid form to house the
book’s description, with additional nods to the story’s settings— rendered in silhouette.
