Book Covers: Illistrations

In order to develop my books sleeves I've researched each book I've chosen to use by John le Carre which has lead me to create an illustration for each book based on the destination featured within the book. Consequently I've chosen to feature the Kremlin for The Russian House (see figure 1) due to it's iconic links to politics and espionage. I've chosen to feature Beethoven's Haus in Bonn, Germany (see figure 2) for a Small Town in Germany as although the museum isn't necessarily featured within the book its a main attraction in Bonn which is where the book is set. Furthermore I've chosen feature the  Grossmunster in Zurich (see Figure 3) for The Night Manager as this is one of the four iconic church's within Zurich. I also wanted to avoid any obvious imagery associated with this well known book in order to create a more interesting sleeve.
