Dust Jacket

Dust Jacket Design

A Game of Thrones

This image is a visual of the dust jacket created for the first book in the Song of Ice and Fire series, better known as Game of Thrones. The dust jacket itself is mostly a deep red colour with black and white detailing and a sword on the front. The look is minimalist and relies on subtle references to the book. Thumbnail.

The Brief…

For this project, we were told to re-imagine a book cover and use simple graphics to create a new dust jacket for our chosen book. I decided to create a dust jacket for A Game of Thrones given that I had just finished the series a month prior. The design was meant to be simple but impactful with the silhouette of a sword passing through a loop. The loop was meant to imply the idea of a crown without making it very obvious.
