If you don;t get The Daily Heller, I would like to share with you his post today. He features these great book redesigns aimed at re-branding some classics as "cool" so younger audiences develop interest. I want to own them myself even though I already have copies, they are great. Animal Farm is just fantastic. The illustrative style is simple, yet very interesting. On rethinking my 3 Poster series I have been pursuing this approach, simple illustrative style, compelling, fresh and maybe a little rock 'n roll influence. There is another point I want to make about these great covers, they all could work as just posters and I think that is very important for book cover design and DVD packaging design. Does the message come across quickly and elegantly? It better.

Bobby,
Great post. I'm actually pursuing an art deco look for my posters, so along similar lines in terms of illustrating alot of this. I found some pretty cool books at the library that I'll bring in on Thursday.

More to my point, I'm finding inspiration from the art deco posters. I think my final result won't look so much art deco
Art deco you say? Wow, I'm a big fan of the style, I look forward to seeing how you handle that.
I spoke with Amy tonight before my class and she told me to take a look at constructivist posters. We agreed that this style may fit well with the aggressiveness of Stone. I have some illustration ideas in mind that I'm excited about, but nothing on paper yet for tomorrow's class. I remember you being a big fan of the propaganda posters.
