Wuthering Heights Book Cover

A book cover redesign of the classic novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

Create a full colour book cover illustration for Wuthering Heights. It should be 8.5’’x 5.5’’, and focus on the beauty of the Yorkshire countryside. Be sure to leave room for the title, author’s name and a blurb about the book.

The Brief

The Approach

I started this project looking at different landscape photography of the moors for inspiration. Some photos with these beautiful Heather patches really struck me. I wanted the cover to have a colour scheme with all the greens and purples. While researching other covers, I noticed that most of them used a tree in some way. I played around with designing my own tree and incorporating it into the landscape. However, I felt like it took away from my original idea to focus on the Yorkshire landscape. So, I pivoted and focused on creating a way to include Catherine’s into the landscape without taking away from the natural beauty. I chose a font with an elegant feel without being too flowery and found a more handwritten one for the author’s name.
