The Great Gatsby

Book Cover - Personal Project

Reimagining the cover of "The Great Gatsby" was an exciting and rewarding challenge. Tackling a classic with numerous cover versions is always a thrill. My primary focus was on capturing Gatsby and the symbolism behind the evocative green light.

The green light serves as a symbol that both separates and binds Gatsby and Daisy. Gatsby takes center stage as the main character, while Daisy, depicted in the background, is physically close yet symbolically distant, her back turned toward him. This design aims to convey the intriguing dynamic between them, highlighting their connection and the subtle tension within their relationship.
