The Collector’s Edition
The Brief:
Design the book format and cover artwork for a contemporary version of Daniel Defoe’s classic 1719 novel Robinson Crusoe.The publishers want a deluxe edition for armchair readers and classic book collectors that references the historical nature of the story and its associations. Produce book design ideas and cover artwork to reflect the content of the story across both formats and contexts. Be creative and inventive with both the look and format of these books.
The gold foil embossed textures each represent a different element on nature that Crusoe had to overcome when stranded on the desert island.
The cover is a cream woven fabric with foil embossing.
