Phantastes: Speculative Design
This artwork is part of my exploration into book design and cover illustration, where typography and traditional art meld together to create a unique and captivating image, through the process of thoughtful research, history, and ideation. Created through washes of acrylic paint and an overlay of colored pencils, this cover portrays the beauty of nature found within MacDonald’s novel, while bringing his sense of whimsy and fantastical storytelling to life through the use of textures, vibrant colors, and cheeky fairies bound to cause mischief.
