Typographic Book Cover Redesign

2025

Objective

Redesign the cover of House of Leaves using only typography to reflect the novel's unsettling, layered, and unconventional storytelling.

Process

I used experimental typography, texture, colour, and layout to create a cover that feels distorted and disorienting. Imagery was not permitted, and so the type itself became the visual system. I layered text, burned paper textures, scattered symbols, and uneven composition to mirror the novel's themes of obsession, confusion, and psychological unease.


The final design was applied to a full book mockup to show how the concept would carry across the front, spine, and back cover.

Medium & Software

Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop
