Problem: The covers of three distinct books, The Color Purple, Their Eyes Were Watching God, and Strangers Have the Best Candy, needed to be reimagined while creating visually compelling designs.
Solution: I carefully redesigned each cover. For Strangers Have the Best Candy, the cover image was generated using AI in Photoshop to explore contemporary creative tools. For Their Eyes Were Watching God, Photoshop techniques were used to create cloud-like, symbolic visuals that reflected the story’s themes. Each design was intentionally crafted to capture the essence of the narrative.
Impact: The redesigned covers bring fresh life to the stories, balancing innovation with reverence for the authors’ work. They demonstrate my ability to use modern tools to create visually striking covers that resonate emotionally and conceptually.
