Allein für diese Buchdeckel würd ich wieder Jules Verne lesen

Diese wunderschönen Illustrationen für der vier bekanntesten Jules Verne Geschichten wurden von Jim Tierney angefertigt und stellen seine Abschlussarbeit zum Fach Illustration dar. Weitere Bilder Skizzen und Anmerkungen des Künstlers gibt es auf faceoutbooks.com.

In the illustration department at the University of the Arts, a major portion of the senior year is dedicated to a 4-part thesis project. The project culminates in a class-wide exhibit and competition for the William H. Ely award. Thusly is this project affectionately known as “The Ely”. Each student must choose a market to work in, and prepare a project proposal.
Being equal parts book-nerd and design-nerd, I naturally decided to re-design some classic Jules Verne novels. I‘m a big Verne fan, but a chance to re-design any classic book is always exciting. Classics usually allow for a more personal interpretation, since most people are already vaguely familiar with the premise of the books, and I didn’t have to compete with one well-known cover, as I might have with a more recent book.
