The Great Gatsby Book Design

The reimagined book design for "The Great Gatsby" encapsulates the timeless allure and tragic essence of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel. Inspired by the thematic motifs of time, hope, and disillusionment, the cover design offers an emotional visual representation of Gatsby's longing and the passage of time. Set against a backdrop of greens, symbolizing Gatsby's aspirations and dreams, the cover features a captivating depiction of a clock combined with gears. The central clock, with its broken pieces and a prominently enlarged number five, serves as a powerful metaphor for Gatsby's five-year separation from Daisy, a pivotal element of the novel's narrative. The fractured clock not only emphasizes the tragic conflict within the story but also evokes a sense of sorrow and regret as time inevitably marches on. you want to turn a hobby into something more.
