Ray Bradbury

For this project all students were assigned a “series” of three books by a famous author. For this series of Ray Bradbury books the assigned books were Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Death is a Lonely Business. Though not a series of consecutive stories these three books all contain similar themes of dystopian futures and the consequences of American arrogance and imperialism. For this cover series the goal was to portray these themes in a typographic manner with the large scale type giving a sense of impending doom and an overbearing government. This feeling is driven home by the regulatory label which contains the titles, authors name, a short description, and a small icon which captures some element from the book.
