Paradise Lost

Gold Winner, 2016 American Advertising Awards: Austin Addys, Book Design

As the title is a paradox, I wanted the cover to follow suit. The linework for the top 'Paradise' half is orderly, clean and bright while the bottom, 'Lost' half is chaotic and tumultuous. The type is a nod to elegance of the epic poem, but the cover as a whole is targeted to engage a new generation of readers.
