I wanted to create an atmosphere with this cover that perfectly reflects the mood of the book. The jungle creates a playful setting for the snake silhouette, reflecting Mowgli's adventures. But the blood-spot-like scales on the snake also hint at the darker side of the story, which is about survival.
The font of the title also brings a playfulness to the project that can be seen in the colourful leaves and flowers. I have included a short summary on the back of the book and quotes on the other pages of the dust jacket.
Since I designed this book as a hardcover with a dust jacket, I was also responsible for designing the inside cover. So for this one, I used a scaled-down silhouette of a snake, which I placed on a dark blue background to increase contrast.
