With my cover i decided to focus on the language famously used by Anthony Burgess in his novel. I picked out words from the language which I thought related to the themes in the book and illustrated this on the cover using my own typographic style which I tried to relate to the dystopian future setting of the book. I then started to pick out details in the typography, such as Alex’s face, in orange and then also the name of the book in black.

Explanation of Work
The cover explores the philosophy of ultraviolence practiced by the protagonist, Alex. The illustration juxtaposes the mental state and idealism of Alex which revolves around rape, crime and violence. The figure and ground rendition also enhances that everything is imbibed in him from which he cannot escape. From drugs to his visit to Korova milk bar which is also hinted in the illustration in a very subtle manner and which forms the silhouette of his face. A person’s character is multi-layered and the cover explores the unfolding of these, revealing the protagonist to the audience.
