BOOK COVER
Brave New World
Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, speculative cover design.
Overview
This project reimagines Aldous Huxley’s classic Brave New World for a contemporary special edition. Illustrated in a flat, graphic style with a limited palette, the artwork reflects the novel’s themes of industrial progress and manufactured utopia. The layout includes a title treatment and full book sleeve design.
Approach
The design layers a chaotic industrial cityscape over a clean, futuristic skyline, confined within heavy smoke that frames the composition. This visual contrast echoes the novel’s tension between progress and decay, control and chaos. The design’s limited color, and bold framing devices, and stark visual contrast embodies the novel’s legacy as both a celebration and critique of modernity.
