Book covers by American design duo The Heads of State.
Never knew they designed book jackets until I saw this interview on the blog Faceout Books;
“How did you become a book cover designer? What do you enjoy about your job?
We found our way to book cover design through poster design and
editorial illustration. Book covers are sort of close cousins to posters, especially illustrative posters. Designing covers is always a big honor
and an even bigger challenge. We’re both avid readers, so seeing
our work wrapped around a bound book is always quite a kick. But it’s
a unpredictable challenge. Digging in and finding the right cover for a
story is a different errand every time and that is what makes it terrifying

What if those modern blockbusters were made in the 1950s? Artist imagines their posters and who would star in them..

This is a pretty cool illustrated poster for ‘The Good, The Bad & The Ugly.’ Typographically it’s less desirable but relates to my current project where in which I’m focusing on cowboy iconography and wild west culture. I am hoping to create something that could possibly be letter-pressed at my local print museum.
This is first illustraion in a personal project called “toy stories”. I wanted to have a go at movie posters, so I took some kick ass films and re-imagined them through the characters of my favourite animation.
If you have not seen “2001: a space oddessey” then shame on you
Dramatic type!
