Expressive Letter Book Covers

Modern book covers with three different lettering design of expressive ‘Drop Cap’ for young audiences. The expressive letter style fit the trend for young students and make them interested in reading the classic novels.

I used a hand-drawn ‘Drop Cap’ for this book, which is a popular expressive way for the letter. I did many sketches for the letter P based on the story and got the final result to put in Illustrator to draw and form a normal letter.

Pride and Prejudice

I used a digitally drawn ‘Drop Cap’ for this book, which fits the adventure theme of this book. I sketched all the major elements in the narrative, such as the boat, gun and island, etc.. Finally, I used the island for the Letter R combined with other elements to express the novel.

Robinson Crusoe

I used a constructed ‘Drop Cap’ for this book to give the cover a 3D effect. As the story plot, the theme is about how women fall in love. So I used the brain actiivty scan of women falling love and cut the part of it similar to S for the cover and used the brain cell to create 3D effect.

Sense and Sensibility
