This is a project for three books, including the front cover, the side cover, the blurb and the layout of the text. The three books are “The Rouge of the North”, “The Little Prince” and “Alice in Wonderland”.

Due to the different audiences of the books, and the contents of the stories, I used two different painting styles to illustrate them. For the romance novel that triggered the awakening of feminism, I used applied cool tones like blue and purple as the main colors to express the tragic core of the novel.

While the fairy stories are mainly aimed at children, I used colored pencil brushes, and attracted their attention by using bright colors. At the same time, I drew a lot of elements from the story on the cover to make the image look richer.
