Finally finishing some projects so I have stuff to post. Recently did a book cover redesign for the novel "Forever" by Pete Hamill. The basis of the story is that there is this guy that lives in Ireland in the 1700s and immigrates to Manhattan. He is given the gift of living forever by an africa priestess, but the catch is he can't leave the island of Manhattan. The story covers the history of the city from the 1700s to around 9/11. I tried to juxtapose old and new by using an old background with a more modern typeface. Also I used 3 symbols that I thought accurately summed up the main character's journey. The symbols all represent a mode of transportation but also have a second meaning, for example the plane symbolizes modern transportation and also symbolizes the events of 9/11 which are mentioned in the story.
