The Masque of the Red Death

A book making project illustrating the short story, ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ by Edgar Allan Poe.
For this project, I wanted to have a controlled and structured method compared to the unpredictable photocopier of my previous project. I chose to illustrate and bind the book to experiment and gain experience in two areas that I have a particular interest in.

This project was a good challenge as I had to consider layout, fonts, binding method, paper stock, cover designs and selecting what to illustrate, and involved a lot of problem solving to complete.
