“EMMA” (Jane Austen) - Book Cover Design
A cover design for the 1985 classic novel "Emma" by Jane Austen. Emma Woodhouse, a wealthy and intelligent young woman, navigates the social circles of Highbury, a picturesque English village. Convinced of her matchmaking abilities, Emma meddles in the romantic lives of her friends and acquaintances, often with unintended consequences.
The bold, psychedelic illustration style of the book cover is intended to be a representation of the rather inflated and distorted view the title character holds of herself and the world around her, giving a sense of levity and cartoonishness to her escapades within the novel.
