Book Cover

Adobe Illustrator
Adobe PhotoshopThis book cover series is based on three novels by F. Scott Fitzgerald—This Side of Paradise, The Great Gatsby, and Tender Is the Night—which explore recurring themes of desire, ambition, love, and disillusionment during the Jazz Age. Although each story takes place in a different setting and stage of life, together they trace a progression from youthful idealism to illusion and eventual emotional decline, reflecting both the spirit of the era and Fitzgerald’s own experiences.
The visual approach draws from Art Deco aesthetics to capture the glamour of the 1920s, while abstracted black-and-white photographic backgrounds create a sense of timelessness and fragility. Each cover uses imagery connected to the story’s setting: a yacht scene for Tender Is the Night referencing its wealthy European resort lifestyle, a luxurious mansion interior for The Great Gatsby symbolizing Gatsby’s wealth, and Princeton University for This Side of Paradise, reflecting Fitzgerald’s own college years.
Three different Art Deco–inspired typefaces were used across the series. Color choices also reflect key elements of each story: a warm reddish-orange sunset for Tender Is the Night, green inspired by the symbolic green light in The Great Gatsby, and a soft purple with pink tones for This Side of Paradise, evoking youthful romance. A color layer between the title and the background image ensures legibility on the front cover, while the back cover centers the author’s name with a minimal border treatment.
