Illustration: LoTR Book Covers
LoTR Book Covers by Eminina
My latest college project was to redesign my favourite book covers! These are just the main cover designs, not yet made to look like books. I thought they’d be better displayed like this for internet viewing.
(A few notes: I wanted to design them to be more appealing to younger readers without looking childish and alienating to adults. I also tried to include stylistic elements of the films, to show the connection without being one of those TERRIBLE film-edition covers that you get for books, eurgh.)
