In Cold Blood Book Cover Re-design Penguin Random House Competition

​I
n Cold Blood is regarded by many critics as the pioneering work in the true crime genre. It is a startling, true account of a gruesome crime and a skilfully researched piece of journalism – it is a literary masterpiece brilliantly imagined which reads like the most gripping of thrillers. ​

The brief: We are looking for a cover design which breaks boundaries in the same way that the book did. It should be bold, maybe even shocking, yet remain true to the book, reflecting both its literary merit and its chilling content.​

I tried to visualise and pick up on the main event of the book to summarise what it is all about. The flat design style seemed to be the most effective.

The final design outcome is inspired by Saul Basses Anatomy of a Murder style. The simplicity and block shapes communicate the key event in the book effectively.
