A redesign cover for the book Dune - assignment for the New York Institute of Art and Design.
Utilizing the project requirements, I decided to redesign the book cover for Dune. I drew out every shape in illustrator and used the gradient tool to create contrast between each san dune hill. I created movement within the image by leading the footprints horizontally along the screen to lead the eye up to the figure. The cool toned figure creates contrast from the warm toned hill. Each foot print was hand drawn as was the figure.
Project Description
Select a book to redesign the cover for, and use Pen and Anchor Point Tools to create vector artwork using the book cover templates. Use at least two elements and principles to achieve unity. Use an analogous color scheme. Also, use color to create a simulated three-dimensional space. Use Transform and Alignment Tools to modify and position your artwork. Finally, use any of the bonus requirements to enhance your design.
