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.
