Book Cover Designs

For this project, I was asked to pick two books: one book that I had read before, and another that I had never even heard of. Then, we were asked to design new covers for these books. The Pursuit of Happyness was easy for me since I had read that one before. The story was about a man who grew up in the 1970s and 80s and worked his way from rags to riches. I chose to use a shot of New York City taken in the 1970s because a lot of the story takes place in either some type of ghetto or city. Cold Mountain was a bit more difficult, because I was only given a short summary of the story. I ended up creating something simple but pleasant in attempt to convey a man taking a long journey up a mountain.
