For these series of book covers I chose to redesign William Gibson’s Neuromancer trilogy: Neuromancer, Count Zero and Mona Lisa Overdrive. The reason for this revision is due to the overall lack of effective design and unity from previous book covers of the science fiction series. I decided on a monochromatic color scheme for each of the books to help the reader distinguish which book their reading and how each book is related. The graphics for the covers I opt for a heavily textured and technical background with a illustrated portrait of one of the main characters from the book. The backdrops are a chaotic disarray of computer circuitry and binary numbers, an environment the author conveys throughout the series as the characters explore “cyberspace”. For the text I chose the font Eurostile because its heavy use in science fiction movies and for its easy to read orthogonal forms.
