I love when design students redesign the covers of classic books to offer new interpretations through beautiful color, typography, and illustration. Here are two projects from recent graduates of the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
Jules Verne by Jim Tierney
You can read more about Jim’s process on the Faceout Books site, and check out his other work on his portfolio.
D.H. Lawrence by Sara Wood
Head over to Sara’s portfolio for a closer look at these D.H. Lawrence covers, as well as her other book covers, posters, and drawings.



Those are so awesome! I have always wanted to redesign some book covers as a design exercise, but I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. Have you re/designed any book covers yourself?
