Banned Book

The goal of this project was to design a book jacket cover as well as a poster for a book that had been banned in order to entice the viewer to seek out the represented book. I chose American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis.
I decided to use a very limited color palette juxtaposed against a stark white background. This was to emphasis the harsh yet clinical feel of the book itself. I created the "blood spatter" using water color that was then scanned in.
