Carmilla Book Cover DesignStudent Work
Carmilla is a late 1800s Gothic novella about a woman being persued as prey by a vampire countess named Carmilla. This work of fiction has been embraced over time as a sapphic romance given that Carmilla makes romantic advances towards Laura throughout the story. I want to reference the many times Laura is fed upon in her sleep by Carmilla while maintaining a sense of intimacy throughout the design.  I was inspired by the Jugendstil branch of Art Nouveau and wanted to keep the design as intensely gothic as possible.
