Art Direction: Drew Gonzalez, Scott Laserow
This is a re-design for Agatha Christie's murder mystery books, And Then There Were None, Murder on the Orient Express and Sparkling Cyanide. The main component of each story is depicted on the cover along with the spine. Rosemary for Sparkling Cyanide, A train for Murder on the Orient Express and a fingerprint for And Then There Were None. All books follow a dark theme to pair well together when in the box set. The cover of the box set is an animation that goes along with the traveling mystery theme of all three books. Using the Artivive app, you can scan the front of the box for the animation to play.
IN THE MAKING
After attempting to digitally create the word "murder" in the desired style, I realized that a physical approach was necessary. To achieve the most realistic "serial killer" letter look, I cut out the word "murder" from an actual magazine and then used Photoshop to convert it to black and white, as shown below.
