Herman Chaneco – Book Covers

July 28th, 2011 — Posted by Mike Sullivan

Tags: book covers, experimental, poster, typeface

Overview

Have a look at these stunning book covers for “The Night Angel Trilogy” (written by Brent Weeks).

Designed by Herman Chaneco, they use simple visual illusions made by paper shadows. Absolutely beautiful. Described on Herman’s site, the shadows create ”images of assassins that change based on the light,” and “mimic the content of the books.”

See more of Herman’s work here.
