Concept 

I chose to redesign the first book of Holly Jackson’s “A good girls guide to murder”.

 

My approach was to turn the cover into a “murder board” that includes clues and notes from the actual book. It expands on the original cover (which has red string and pins).

 

Final

I first designed the cover using a cork board and sticky notes, but this was difficult because of scaling issues and lighting, so I decided to recreate the murder board in Illustrator.
