NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN BOOK COVER
Branding Project, 2021.
A sample book cover made for Cormac McCarthy’s 2005 No Country for Old Men. The goal of this project was to interweave typographical elements with traditional graphics to create a visually striking first impression. The old-fashioned surly serif font overlaid and entrapped in the spooled spiral of barbed wires work to capture the nihilistic themes of McCarthy’s modern western. The setting sun soaked in the blood red sky of the battered background both compositionally frames the title and further elucidates the motifs and the mood of the story.
