THE GREAT GATSBY
BOOK LAYOUT + DESIGN
The Great Gatsby is a story of wealth, love, and tragedy. All subject matters that inspire incredibly interesting designs. Choosing a personal favorite, I added my style while preserving the classic elements of the book to craft a meaningful visual for this American classic.
PAGE LAYOUTS
Designing this book gave me the skills in formatting spreads and using the proper layout tools in Adobe InDesign.
CHAPTER BREAKS
The chapter breaks use the cloud elements from the cover and spine. It adds visual interest to the book and relates to the overall design system.
COVER + SPINE
The cover of the book uses shades of blue and green that represent the symbol of the “green light” that is used in the story. The color was applied to a cloud-like brush style that adds to the mysterious vibe of the book. The eyes and glasses represent the eyes of Doctor T. J. Eckleberg from the story.
