Book cover design for Booker Prize winning novel Prophet Song by Paul Lynch.
The illustration for this dystopian novel portrays a fractured suburban landscape looming over a small family. The approach intends to contrast the sharp, brutal block shapes with the simpler hand drawn figures, suggesting the oppressive reality with which they are confronted in the book.
The type is Orleans by Commercial Type, and the cover is printed CMYK + 1 Pantone on uncoated stock.
