CIRCE: A Book Cover Inspired by Myth and Magic

Enter your text here...This project showcases a custom book cover design for 'Circe' by Madeline Miller, an enchanting tale rooted in Greek mythology. The design merges modern aesthetics with classic themes, incorporating symbolic visuals and a mystical color palette. The typography and layout were carefully chosen to complement the magical essence of the story, ensuring that the cover stands out on the shelf.

The illustration of 'Circe' is central to the design, capturing her mystique and power. Flowing lines and abstract elements represent the enchantments and transformations that are key to the narrative. The dark tones create a mysterious atmosphere, while the glowing yellow accents bring in an otherworldly effect, emphasizing the magical elements of the character.

Main colors used: #ffffff; #000000; #c0e0eb; #c9a31d.

The book's dimensions (spine: 3 cm, height: 25 cm, width: 15 cm) played an important role in how the elements were placed, ensuring a balanced composition. The typography draws inspiration from ancient Greek art, connecting modern design with the mythological narrative.

Main font: GA Gill Sans Georgian.

My goal was to create a design that is visually striking while also symbolizing the key themes of the story.
