For this project I split the short story The False Gems by Guy De Maupassant into four sections to represent “chapters”. I drew chapter illustrations for each of the four sections. I then designed and illustrated the cover using only four colors to resemble the style of 19th century embossed and lithographic book covers.
Chapter 1: A Near Perfect Wife
Chapter 2: A Grave Shock
Chapter 3: Riches Abound
Chapter 4: The Delusion of Wealth
