This was a fun project, I was given the task of choosing a novel I would like to redesign. Since I've been a fan of the book for a long time and still had the copy from my childhood I chose The Secret Garden by Frances H. Burnett. Below I showed several different stages of the creative process, as well as the finished products.
Below are the different stages of work for the cover illustration.
Here is the full dust jacket design for the book. I included the fabric or textured layer I created for the design beleow.
After creating all of the cover design I then went to format the inside pages and created the margins for the text by using a monastic canon layout. In the images below I show the spread design.
