Ring
⋆｡𖦹°˚｡⋆


A book cover for Koji Suzuki’s Ring is inspired by themes and iconography throughout the story and its movies.
    I felt inspired to create a cover redesign for my favorite book, Koji Suzuki’s Ring. This book and its corresponding movies are an iconic horror staple, and feature tons of symbolism and iconography that many now associate with the franchise.
    For my design, I really wanted to push the images within the story and incorporate them. I chose to feature the iconic circular ring shape from the movies, as well as overlay a VHS texture that I then used to displace not only the ring, but all of the text on each face of the cover. If you haven’t read or watched Ring, it is about a cursed VHS tape, so I felt that the texture was a stylish and interesting way to incorporate that symbol. I opted to not put the title of the book on the cover, wanting the ring symbol to speak for itself. Lets hope I made Sadako proud with this design...! ｡𖦹°‧
