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

Griffith University assigned me a task to design three book covers using the expressive letter of the first Capital letter of the book name. The three books are famous English classic novels: Pride and Prejudice, Robinson Crusoe, and Sense and Sensibility, but will be sent out for university students to read.

At first, I gathered all the documents online about David Carson and laid them out on Adobe XD. I reviewed all his works, personal life story and present life. I used his images to do the collage with color blocks. I did the layout in his style, not to follow the grid system. I added some hover status on Adobe XD to make the navigation experience more interactive and interesting. I designed the website for three different devices, which allows users to navigate with the device in their hand.
