Dust Jacket Design Research

here are a few images of book covers and jackets that i found on the internet.

the last three images are re-designs of books in a series, i like the way they all share similar or the same element(s) i felt the designs used were relevant and i thought they really worked.

http://cargocollective.com/search/Book-Jacket-Design - there were loads of great examples of book cover projects people have done, i thought this one really stood out:

Its for a series of make-up books and i thought the idea of having    eye's showing on one book, the nose on the second and the mouth on the third was a really creative.

For this assignment we have to re-design the following book dust covers: 'the wind-up bird chronicle', 'norwegian wood', 'kafka on the shore', 'the elephant vanishes' and 'dance dance dance' by Japanese author Haruki Murakami.

  I began by researching the books and finding out what the book's were about and what were the original cover designs, i found loads of images online, these are a few of my favorites.
