Book Jackets

1. Ender's Game

This is my favorite book. It is about an army of children being rigorously trained to fight off an alien invasion. I didn't do the spine yet. I will do it when I wake up.

2. Doctor Zhivago

This is a story of a young doctor's life torn apart during the Russian revolution. I based the forms in the type treatment on the hammer and sickle symbol, but I wanted to arrange them in a way that reflected the poetic quality of Pasternak's writing; the hammers form a train track of sorts, and the sickle blades are like moons, representing the many nights Doctor Z spent traveling with his family on the train. This is going to be silk screened.
