The Secret Garden
Book Cover Design
The classic children’s book, The Secret Garden, follows 10-year-old Mary Lennox on a journey of healing through friendship and nature. The cover design references the setting of the novel (early 20th-century Yorkshire) through the use of colorized grayscale photographs. This alludes to colorized historical black and white photography.
Although the children of the story are not depicted on the cover, the torn paper used to compile and unify the images and text give the design a youthful quality.
