Book cover

I chose the Scarlet Letter for my book because it was one that I knew the most about. I enjoyed learning about it in high school and was excited for the opportunity to put my understanding of the story onto paper. I started off with three ideas. The first idea was to have a spotlight shining onto a scaffold and the shadow would make the inside shape of the A would be outlines by the spotlight. The second one would have a 50-shades-of-grey-feel with Dimmesdale’s’ collar with a red A on the chest. The third one would be the opening scene of the book with a rose under a window. There would be a shadow off of the rose, creating the outline of an A.

            After a lot of back and forth, I ended up changing the whole design and starting from scratch. I pulled inspiration from things that I found on Pinterest and was shown how to recreate it.
