I never intended to make these images as a set, but my penchant towards simple design / lack of design understanding lead to each being very basic, and together they don't look too dissimilar. Regardless, I don't think this is of ANY importance, as they were never a set. Each book has very different audiences and contexts, so there would be no sense to push them together for the sake of it.
Of the three, To Kill a Mockingbird is the only one I have fondness towards. As a design, it is more self assured, and I wonder if this comes from being the only book I actually read for this brief. It is also the only one that feels the most "me", in regards to the techniques used. My design for In Cold Blood and even Adrian Mole harks back to what I was doing last year with Murakami, in regards to symbolism and simplicity but I have moved beyond that now. There was no reason to go back to that way of working when it is irrelevant to me, especially with Adrian Mole which could have been so much more fun.
