H.G.Wells Alternate Book Covers
Penguin's chain brand, Penguin Trios, needed a consistent theme throughout to form a special collection. I chose to use a leaf as a simple and photogenic icon to represent these classic science fiction novels as I felt this modernised them by grounding them in reality. Each cover uses a different leaf which I collected and photographed to communicate themes from each book. The ageing variety of leaves transforms the set into a timeline, linking the books with another common theme - the fragility of life and the inescapable effects of time.
