Folio Society Competition - War Horse

For this university brief, I was tasked with designing a front cover for War Horse by Michael Morpurgo, as part of an entry to the Folio Society competition. The requirement was to create a cover using block colours, with a strict limit of four.

I selected a purple-blue to represent the night sky, a dark brown for the trees and as shading on the soldier, a lighter brown as the main highlight colour, and white for the text to ensure strong contrast.

​

In addition to the cover, I illustrated three memorable scenes from the book and developed a paperback design that complemented and extended my illustration style.
