Murakami Cover Reworks
Impetus: Self Initiated Project
Role: Designer
Format: Book Covers
Year: 2025Haruki Murakami is an author world renowned for his his writing for the magical realism genre, creating parallel worlds that hold powerful absurd changes from our reality. These spikes and changes from our own world we live in defines Murakami, and is an indispensable part of his writing. In the creation of these book covers, elements were isolated from each individual work that define that world, and visually represented throughout the continuing element of a white stroke. Where a simple black and white and Helvetica typeface stand as out standard understanding of our experiences, this stroke defines the absurd through an otherwise standard and functioning world, the touch of genius that is Murakami’s world.
