The Night Manager book covers were designed in my second year for the Penguin Student competition. I wanted to maintain the timeless popularity of the novel whilst incorporating modern illustration. The first cover was inspired by the elegance and sophistication of the spy novel with limpets to connect back to the name of the mission. I kept type simple with sans serif in order to prevent clash with the illustration and give the cover space to breathe.
Below is one of my alternative designs, where I drew literal illustrations and a muted colour scheme. The purpose of the design was to grab the reader with the question of why a gun was aligned with everyday dining placement and create curiosity to find out more about the book.
