Chosen books

Brief:

Create three Penguin book sleeves following the Marber Grid.

In order to respond to this brief I've decided to design books sleeves for three of John le Carre books, The Night Manager, A Small Town in Germany and  The Russian House. I've chosen to design sleeves for books by the same other as all three of these books are spy novels which will allow me to create a common theme across my sleeves in order to link the books via the author. My initial idea is to feature key items/buildings associated with the characters within the book on the front of the sleeves with the a timeline of Romek Marbers life on the back of the sleeve which will be contained within a map of Poland. In order to create these sleeves I've created some basic sketches (see figure 1) experimenting with ways to edit the Marber grid subtly as to not alter the grid completely.
