A timeless story
This personal project involved designing cover and internal layout for Animal Farm by George Orwell.
The concept I chose to focus on was the moderity of the tale: despite being intended as a satire of the Russian revolution, its core message can in fact resonate to this day.
Every design choice aims to reflect this modernity, from the format chosen (narrower than the standard, classic formats) to the typography.

The cover art depicts a pig and the windmill.
The red background is a reference to the Russian revolution, of which the novel is a satirical allegory.
