A personal illustration project creating a conceptual book cover inspired by the classic tale of Rapunzel. The illustration explores the story’s themes of isolation, mystery, and enchantment through detailed imagery, character elements, and decorative motifs. I focused on creating a visually atmospheric composition that captures the fairy-tale quality of the story while giving it a contemporary illustrative style.
The artwork continues from the front cover onto the spine, allowing elements such as the tower, tangled hair, and surrounding foliage to flow across the design. This creates a cohesive illustration that remains visually engaging when the book is displayed on a shelf.
