Background
This week, I decided to make a book cover, and I chose one of my favorite books, Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. As a classic work of English literature, this book has had many different publications and some very unique cover art. In considering the overall feel of the design for my own book cover, I decided to play with some of the darker themes of the book: isolation, darkness, solitude, and fire. I think these elements came together fairly well in my overall design.
