Kubrick's Ten Source Novels

This Capstone project, created for the fictional client The Folio Society, addresses the lack of a cohesive, high-quality collection of novels that inspired Stanley Kubrick’s films. Existing editions are inconsistent, leaving Kubrick fans and cinephiles without a unified set. Research included analysing current editions, surveying audiences, and exploring connections between Kubrick’s films and their literary sources. The project involved a rigorous, iterative design process using Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign to produce a limited-edition set in a display case. The result is a collection for readers and collectors, offering exclusivity, visual unity, and a deeper appreciation of the relationship between film and literature. The project concluded with a fictional promotional event at The Astor in Melbourne during a Stanley Kubrick film festival. Each book features bespoke illustrations, motifs, quotations, and colours for a unified, compelling set.
