Penguin Classics book cover of The Phantom of the Opera, in the style of Josef Muller Brockmann.

This book cover assignment had a couple of requirements.  We needed to create a book cover for one of the Penguin Classics novels, and the design should be inspired by a famous graphic designer.  I really like the simple grid based designs by Josef Muller Brockmann.  To make the grid more appealing, the grids are usually manipulated in a simple way.  I used the Penguin logo to inspire the color palette for this cover.  In continuing in the International Style, I used sans-serif fonts for all text on the cover.
