Dan Andres, Student & Freelancer in Northampton, UK5. Dom Chung, “Visual Creative in National Service Limbo” in Singapore, Singapore“The design is inspired by elements from Andy Warhol’s style, and Roy Lichtenstein’s halftone style. The mood carried forward was meant to be more sombre, as the theme of the book is about maturity and growth of a child in this harsh society.” 6. Dousan Miao, Graphic Designer in London, UK and Hong Kong“This is a book cover concept I developed to appeal to a whole new generation of readers while [staying] true to the universal theme of the story. The most important theme of [To Kill A Mockingbird] is the book’s exploration of the moral nature of human beings—that is, whether people are essentially good or essentially evil … In terms of the choice of typeface, Sabon suits this classic perfectly as it was developed in the 1960s, the same period Harper Lee wrote this novel.” 7. Ethan Ang, Student in Singapore, Singapore“The assignment was to design a book cover that depicts our interpretation of the story. My concept was focused on the rot and decay of southern culture during that time period. Tom was accused of rape and was seen as a monster, however, ignorance and racism was the true monster.” 8.

Isabel Lim, Graphic Designer at London College of Communication“To Kill A Mocking Bird is an iconic literature novel by author Harper Lee. The book speaks about the conflicts and irony of [prejudice], justice and inequality.

JollyGoodThen, Graphic Designer and Illustrator in Austin, TX13. Katie Ledgerwood, Student at University of Worcester, UK14. Mickenzie Robbins, Student in Brooklyn, New York“The imagery on this book cover was created by carving linoleum blocks, a method which emphasizes the harshness of the events in the novel. Further, the imagery symbolically portrays the protagonists movement toward a loss of childhood innocence as she witnesses events unseen to most 8-year-olds, as is shown through the bright yellow which is being overshadowed by a harsh black.” 15. MUTI, Design Studio in Cape Town, South AfricaSo this technically isn’t a book cover, but it was too beautiful not to share. 16. Pamela Morena, Brand Identity & Graphic Designer in Weston, FL17. Rob Morphy & Marc Storrs Illustrators in Auburn, NY18. Sarah Jane Coleman, Illustrator at Inky Mole in Hinckley, UK“For me the most poignant moments [of To Kill A Mockingbird] are those when the feared Boo Radley leaves his little gifts for Scout and Jem hidden in the tree, especially the tiny figurines of the children. That needed to be central to the image and in the end, it literally does form ‘the spine’ of the book. The other elements were Scout’s tomboy clothing and the trees (forming play areas and hiding places), and, since I’ve been working with silhouettes a lot recently, a nod to the work of American artist Kara Walker, whose work frames themes relevant to the book such as race, history, narrative, power and shame.” Announcing the judges of the HOW International Design Awards …Early-Bird Deadline: Monday, August 14 @ 11:59pm EDTENTER NOWWho is on the cover of To Kill a Mockingbird?Approximately 5,000 first printings were produced.”FIRST EDITION” is stated on the copyright page, and the dust jacket has the price of $3.95.
