Devil in the White City Book Cover Redesign

The objective of creating the book cover was to combine type and image into a cohesive narrative that is inspired by the content of the book. We created them to understand how the information graphic plays into the delivery of information to the audience.

For my book I chose The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. I created a silhouette of a Chicago cityscape and reflected a negative version vertically, then created a red silhouette of H.H. Holmes to represent the "devil" in a white city.
