I don't bite...much
A collection of gruesome horror classics
Overview
The Gothic Monsters Collection is a specially designed set of book jackets and covers for three classic horror novels in a unique tactile experience. Each book is designed individually while keeping the overall set in mind so none feel out of place.
challenges
The most challenging part of this book collection was creating a cohesive design among all the books while also keeping each book unique to its plot.
solution
This book collection was designed in a way that each jacket is unique but the book covers are applied similarly to tie each piece together. Each book was designed around creating a tactile experience on the surface and features three-dimensional elements.
process
Each book jacket was sewn by hand and machine to create a rugged feel. All jackets feature a die cut to show the title of the book hidden underneath and entice the reader’s curiosity to peel back the jacket to reveal the textured embossed cover. Each book cover features custom black paper made with a mold and deckle to create an aggressive texture.
