A personal illustration project creating a conceptual book cover inspired by Stephanie Garber’s Caraval. The illustration explores the novel’s themes of magic, mystery, illusion, and spectacle through a rich and theatrical visual style. I focused on creating an immersive composition using decorative details and imagery that reflect the fantastical atmosphere of the world within the story.
The artwork extends from the front cover onto the spine, allowing key elements of the illustration to flow across the book. This creates a cohesive design that maintains the magical and mysterious qualities of the cover when displayed on a bookshelf.
