A COLLECTION OF THE SEA

Book Cover Design

2025

A cohesive redesign of three literary novels—Moby-Dick or The Whale, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, and The Old Man and the Sea.

I reimagined their covers by taking the most recognizable elements within the novels and featuring them in my design.

The covers of this collection are united by a gradient of blues, reflecting the descent into the depths—both literal and metaphorical—found within each novel. The Old Man and the Sea, in the lightest blue, remains closest to the surface, a tale of endurance and the intimate struggle between man and nature. Moby-Dick or The Whale, in a medium blue, plunges further into obsession, adventure, and the vast unknown. Finally, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, in the darkest blue, descends into the deepest waters, where mystery and isolation.
