Project Overview

For my Little Women movie poster and book cover, I aimed to create a cohesive design that visually celebrates each sister's distinct personality while capturing the story's classic charm. The poster features small illustrations along the sides, each symbolizing one sister's defining traits, which adds a personal and emotional layer to the composition. At the center, I placed larger illustrations of the sisters, enhanced with a subtle three dimensional effect to give them a lifelike presence. For typography, I layered two versions of the main title—one in full opacity and the other behind it at lower opacity in the same color—to create depth and a unique, stylish flair. The cast names sit above the title in matching colors, while a soft pastel yellow credit block grounds the layout at the bottom. I used a pastel color palette throughout to create a warm, gentle tone that reflects the emotional and nostalgic nature of the story. For the book cover, I carried over the core design language to ensure visual continuity between the poster and the cover. I removed the extra character illustrations from the front and repurposed them into a repeating pattern on the back cover, creating a refined visual detail that still honors the personalities of each sister. The back text uses a darker serif font for improved readability, and the spine features a gradient that connects the color schemes of the front and back covers. Careful attention was paid to font size, leading, and kerning to ensure that the text remained balanced and legible. Overall, the design blends classic literary elegance with a modern visual twist, offering a fresh interpretation of a beloved story.
