Little Tom Thumb - French Style

This book cover was designed by John Hendrix for The Pull of the Ocean by Jean-Claude Mourlevat. It tells the story of a young boy who leads his 3 sets of twin brothers to the ocean after escaping several abusive foster homes. Hendrix developed an asymmetrically balanced by position. He unites his piece with a repetition of gray and black colors/shades and gains emphasis with isolation and contrasting colors.
