John Green Collector’s Edition Book Covers

Book Cover Typography Exploration Series.
Project designed at CSULB, Fall 2020.

Three separate notable novels written by John Green, designed as a collector’s edition series, reflective of the shared theme on the death of loved ones. Elements from the florals to color are symbolically connected to each novel’s storyline and characters.

Custom Typography & Complimenting Florals

Anjelica is known for her playful hand lettering, so she experimented with a mature lettering style for this project, while staying true to the books’ young adult genre. The lettering is carefully weaved into the floral illustrations on the front covers, and was simplified for the books’ spines.

Looking for Alaska was designed with dark blue typography as an homage to Alaska’s dark blue nail polish. The Fault in Our Stars features lavender as reflecting cancer awareness, while also contrasting against the orange tulips Hazel Grace was once gifted. Turtles All The Way Down utilizes teal in respect for Aza’s obsessive-compulsive disorder.
