The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo Cover Redesign

This popular trilogy by Stieg Larsson was a great opportunity to try out designing a book cover. The dust jackets pull out both literal concepts from the book titles and also more mysterious imagery that is explained only through reading the books. I used hand-lettering in the titles and arranged them sporadically to create some chaos on the covers that reflected the tone of the books. The project was lead by Chris Brand, who is currently Art Director at the Crown Publishing Group for Crown Trade and Hogarth.
