Divine Comedy- All Covers

A series of book covers and interior spreads, a contemporary take on Dante's classic poems. I wanted to create a set of book covers that did not use images from the Bosch Hell painting, or any images of Dante and Virgil that are normally found on covers for the Divine Comedy.
I was inspired by Dante's use of mathematics and architecture in describing Hell, Heaven and Purgatory. I employed simple geometric shapes and color to represent these places, while still keeping the design simple, and allowing the reader to use their imagination when reading these vivid poems.
THE DANTE BOOK COVERS ARE NOW AVAILABLE AS PRINTS ON LULU.COM.

for school.

read them, but they would just get added to
my stack of books to read. with these

If these were in print, I wouldn't hesitate
in buying them. I'm really sad they're not
:-( Brilliant, minimal, elegant work.
