The Sun Also Rises
Book Jacket DesignFall 2024
Ernest Hemingway’s The Sun Also Rises is considered a quintessential novel of the Lost Generation, and considered a literary masterpiece. Each panel of the book jacket was first composed physically with real-life objects. Using sewing pins, thread, and cut out red and yellow paper, I aimed to highlight the fragility, interconnection, and travel that frames the novel.
Staging the SetWhen constructing the photography sets, I focused on creating a consistently warm color scheme of sharp reds and yellows. Since the novel takes place largely in Spain, the typeface and color choices were inspired by Spanish posters of the 1920s.
