I chose to redesign the cover of 1984 by George Orwell because the cover is quite simple and I thought maybe I could jazz it up a bit, however, I do believe the original cover is effective and I do really like it.  I love this book and I’ve read it three times, so I hold this design close to my heart.  I kept with the theme of being watched by putting a cluster of cameras on the back cover but I made the main focus on the front cover about the torture that the main character of the book, Winston, endured toward the end of his story.  The book is about a dystopian world and I wanted to reflect the pain and suffering in the cover and not just the surveillance aspect, so I worked them both in.
