Classic novels as movie posters

A self-initiated project to design movie posters for classic novels specifically focusing on representing the genre of the novel through colour and type.

The novels that I created these posters for were ‘And Then There Were None’ by Agatha Christie, ‘The Masque of the Red Death’ by Edgar Allan Poe, and ‘Northanger Abbey’ by Jane Austen.
