Dante Book Covers 

Client: student project | Submitted: September 05, 2008 | Updated: November 25, 2008
Discipline: Book Cover Design | Tags: book, color, cover, dante, shape, typography

A series of book covers and interior spreads, a contemporary take on Dante's classic poems. I wanted to create a set of book covers that did not use images from the Bosch Hell painting, or any images of Dante and Virgil that are normally found on covers for the Divine Comedy.

I was inspired by Dante's use of mathematics and architecture in describing Hell, Heaven and Purgatory. I employed simple geometric shapes and color to represent these places, while still keeping the design simple, and allowing the reader to use their imagination when reading these vivid poems.



Due to popular request, I am selling high-quality poster prints of my Dante book covers. They are available through Lulu.com.
