Project Overview
To read and recreate any novel. This must be something that can create an interesting cover and a compelling story without any words. From the front cover to all aspects inside.
Problem Statement
To create a unique design system that invokes the feeling of the novel both inside and out. Using digitalized software to create the book cover and learning to use pagination and publication rules to create a chapter brake system.
Solution
Creating a unique cover and chapter brake system for the novel. Creating the feeling of suspense and working to make the redesign into a unique system. Explaining the story of these first terrifying events as if the main character’s son were to make them with aper materials. Working on drawing and creating everything to have a terrifying child-like nature.
Target Audience
The targeted audience is readers who have an interest in horror, particularly Stephen King horror novels. This is one of the shorter stories he has written and is much easier to read than most of his novels. This is to showcase the uniqueness of this terrifying monster, or monsters, and push readers to explore deeper into Stepen King's works and enjoy the world he has created.
