Description:

This is my (unused) design for the Penguin Classics edition of A Tale of Two Cities.

Several in-house designers made comps for this edition, to be used for Oprah's December book pick, and this was my submission.

Later, this was combined with "Great Expectations", and designed by Gregg Kulick, who did a beautiful final cover, in stores now.

Absolutely Lovely. Saw the printed version in the store the other day, and was like "Hey, I know who did that!"

I feel like I saw the printed ones at some point. Love this delicate colour choice, though.

Thank you everyone,

Andrew and Katherine:
These actually were never printed. The printed books use a similar color scheme, but were done by Gregg Kulick, and like I mentioned in the description, include "Great Expectations" in the same volume.
