THE MESSENGER
Concept Project
Roles: Creative and Art Direction, Illustrator, Designer
ABOUT THE PROJECT
The goal was to create the cover of “The Messenger”, a psychological mystery novel where our perception constantly confuses us and imagination takes part to complete what we do not understand.
THE CONCEPT
A young female protagonist and a strange hand that breaks into the scene. Her gestures and the atmosphere surrounding her awaken unease and a curiosity that invites us to wonder what is really happening in that moment. The young woman glances at us from the corner of her eye; her appearance seems relaxed, but her gaze hides a disturbing undertone. It leaves the observer with a story to imagine: a challenging moment in which the mystery of whether the protagonist is safe or in danger creates a disturbing and captivating feeling.
