THE ASK
Gillian Flynn, author of the much loved thriller ‘Gone Girl’ has requested a mysterious and enticing cover design which reflects the inner character of her central protagonist, Amy Dunne.
THE SOLUTION
An intricate jigsaw portrait brings to light the complexity of pinning down her character; no-one can piece her together, there will always be fundamental pieces missing. Being hand-painted instead of photographed it further begs the question, do we even have the real Amy in our sight? Or is she merely a fabrication?
(Student Project)
Once the jigsaw was created I experimented on Photoshop with adding red, but opted for the more subtle approach here as I felt the overuse of the red was too distracting from the jigsaw.
