Background —

I was tasked with the exciting challenge of redesigning the beloved classic, "The Wizard of Oz." Drawing inspiration from the story's magical and whimsical elements, I crafted a visually stunning concept that breathed new life into this timeless tale.

The Process

The color palette I chose was inspired by the film's original thematic colors, but with a modern twist. I incorporated bold, vibrant shades of emerald with a touch of gold and metallic accents to add an extra layer of enchantment.
To create a cohesive look, I utilized custom typography that complemented the overall design. From the title on the book cover to the dialogue in the shape of twisters, every font choice was deliberate and purposeful.
I also incorporated intricate illustrations that brought the characters and scenes to life in the form of tiny iconography. From the emerald city to the yellow brick road, each element was crafted to capture the essence of the story.
