Divergent Book Design
Redesigning the Divergent Series Book Jackets
For this project, we were tasked with redesigning an existing book jacket series. I chose the Divergent series by Veronica Roth, which includes the books Divergent, Insurgent, and Allegiant. The goal was to create new, visually striking covers that would capture the essence of the series while appealing to both existing fans and new readers.
FINAL
For the first book, Divergent, I focused on the idea of individuality and the protagonist's journey of self-discovery. The cover features a bold, abstract design representing the central theme of divergence from societal norms.
For Insurgent, I drew inspiration from a pivotal scene in the book and movie where a character falls from the sky. The cover design incorporates a figure falling through a dynamic background, symbolizing the intense action and the struggle against oppressive forces.
The redesign for Allegiant focused on the theme of overcoming barriers and the quest for truth. I used the typography of the title to create a wall-like effect, with small figures of people climbing the letters.
