Ender's Game Book Cover
Problem Statement:
Design a book cover (front, spine, and back) that uses semiotics and coding. Create imagery that is an undercoded sign. Layout the interior of the novel using correct typesetting standards.
Specifications:
Create a cohesive design on the front, spine, and back.
Design Choice:
In this Science Fiction novel, Ender (main character) is in charge of the platoon, “Dragon Army”, which is stationed in a space station. Their duties are to train and protect humanity from an incoming alien invasion. Although there are no real dragons in this novel, I wanted to create an image that only the readers would be able to understand. The illustrations were chosen to symbolically represent the story.
The interior text was created using Van de Graaf Canon and Tschichold’s recommended 2:3 page-size ratio.
