This editorial piece is a book cover redesign, specifically of a more adult-targeted book, but this book jacket was designed to be targeted at a younger demographic.

I chose the book The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood because I enjoyed the challenge of finding a way to make this more mature book suitable for a younger audience.

I used colors, motifs and symbols that are recurring in the book, which are also explained in the inner flaps of the book cover, as well as using an analog hand-cut method for the front cover lettering to add that rough or more youthful feel to it.
