Original Design

The original cover and the illustrations in the book are created by Rupi Kaurr; however, the cover art is stylistically inconsistent with the art inside her book.

Sketches

For the redesign, the intent was to modernize her style of illustration.

The first step was to create multiple sketches that could be further iterated. The sketches were thematically based on the content of the book and aims to create abstract realism.

Ideation

Next, various iterations of differing line thickness and typography were applied to match Rupi Kaur's illustrative style.

Final Outcome

The final outcome is modern and abstract with a hint of realism!
