thank you, i'm glad you think so! this book is one of my favorite books of all time which made it harder to design the cover for since i didn't want to ruin it haha.

What's your creative rationale behind the 'bird' image?
Though it don't really look like a bird, but a great effort. Good Job, Vicky!

throughout the novel bird imagery, particularly pigeons, are associated with books and especially the way they burn, the white pages "fluttering" and scattering in the air. birds are usually an archetype for freedom, which fits nicely with the meaning of books and knowledge in the novel and their importance to society. i really love the imagery, i think it's beautiful really and i wanted to incorporate that somehow in my design since i hadn't found the bird image expressed on any past book covers.

but yeah, i know my execution is a bit out there as far as abstraction goes. i probably should've just photoshopped it but i wanted to try making it by hand.

i'm glad you like it though, thank you! and sorry for the long comment, ha

good job

thanks!

Wow, you could sell this to a book publishing company!!
