Create a book jacket and package design for Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Tell-Tale Heart”.
Approach
The surreal image was carved and printed using hand tools and a linoleum block. The typographic treatment suggests the beating of a human heart by the way one reads each word on the different lines. The austere color palette remains true to the tradition of linocut printmaking.
Results
The cover art illustrates the lead character's struggle at the end of the story.
