Les Misérables Book Cover
Les Misérables book cover mock up
Les Misérables is a story about change and I believe the following in the book sums it up the best.
“The book which the reader has before him at this moment is, from one end to the other, in its entirety and details...a progress from evil to good, from injustice to justice, from falsehood to truth, from night to day, from appetite to conscience, from corruption to life; from bestiality to duty, from hell to heaven, from nothingness to God. The starting point: matter, destination: the soul. The hydra at the beginning, the angel at the end.”
I wanted to capture the progress with an image. The image stays the focus of the cover through placement and keeping the design simple, but impactful.
