BOOK COVER PROJECT

I created this conceptional Penguin book cover design as part of a self-initiated brief.
I wanted the book cover to convey the theme of the book, which is a relationship between two forms of art: modern architecture and graffiti. For the cover design, I developed a series of collages consisting of photos of modern buildings that I took myself or downloaded from the Internet, as well as graffiti and murals on the city walls adorning the urban fabric.
