CITY OF GLASS

Multi Media Photography and Adobe Platform Project

Book cover redesign for the novel "City of Glass" by Cassandra Clare. Drew inspiration from the impact and personal understanding of the book throughout my childhood. My thought process began with a desire to show the correlation between inorganic and organic objects while integrating one's personal growth.

Beginning Idea

I started this process with two main photographs, one with a sunflower to emphasize the organic being able to grow and change. The second image showing the sharp edges and lines of glass. By mixing the two, I wanted to create a piece that shows how one can continue to grow and flourish while being surrounded with the confinement of the glass.

Photography Process

I think started to play around with ways of overlapping the two images, which started out literally splitting the page and simply putting the two next to each other.

Following this idea, I switched to taking pictures of the sunflower through a glass bowl in front of my computer, this added a nice texture and image warp. Continued on to experiment with the color of the images. I decided to keep the image the color it was, as that simplified the glass texture while keeping the crystal coloring as raw and organic as possible.
