Proposal for a book design series for Brooklyn based Melville House Publishing.
The idea is giving a classic genre a new contemporary appeal.
Cropping the images in a way that the persons well known attributes are highlighted. The closeup imagery also conveys a certain intimacy and a closer look at the author’s life.
