This project's assignment was to take a science fiction novel and re-create a book cover through a means of illustration and using images. From what context I knew about the book I tried to settle on some themes to portray it which were war and technology.

 

Robots are a large part of the story. In the background, I created large rounded eyes to mimic a robot's and they are reflecting what is going on in the world: war, carnage, and fire.

​

The person in the front is to represent the main character. They use some kind of virtual realm type of headgear to fight for the goal. I used an image of an engine then designed wires coming out of it. The chain around his body is to make him out to be a prisoner of the world.

​

The title was created using various layering, selection, mask, and painters tools in Photoshop.

Below are all the stock free images I used in creating this.
