Penguin

Competition brief for Penguin books, I'm designing a book cover for "One flew over the cuckoo's nest" by Ken Kesey. These are early rough mock ups for the cover design, they're more a way for me to visualize what the book will look like. The idea behind these cover designs is reaching into the idea put forward by one of the characters in the book, Chief Bromden, in which he describes society as a large, mechanized system which he calls "The Combine." So I've illustrated nurse Ratched as a sorting machine with patients on a conveyor belt coming out as machines, this is a literal interpretation showing the nurse as a machine molding patients into machine like beings.
