THE HOLLOW MEN
BOOK COVER DESIGNS
OVERVIEW
This project included the creation of 3 unique book covers for The Hollow Men by Rob McCarthy for the client, Pegasus Book Publishing company. This novel is a medical thriller that follows the actions of doctor Harry Kent following some murders of the London Youth.SOLUTION
The first concept, both visually and metaphorically, contains figures that are going against the grain just like Harry is working for the police while still harboring a deep hatred for them. The second concept touches on the action within the novel alongside lavenders, which is a recurring visual motif that appears in Harry’s thoughts due to his PTSD. The third concept covers the duality in Harry’s occupation as a medical examiner for the London Police.
