REIMAGINED BOOK COVER FOR "WHAT ARE FRIENDS FOR?"

This personal project is a redesigned cover for What Are Friends For?, a YA contemporary romance novel by Sarah Sutton. My goal was to create a visually engaging and relatable design that captures the essence of friendship and romance. The cover illustration reflects a pivotal scene that marks a turning point for the main characters. The process involved developing concept sketches, selecting a color palette, and crafting the final artwork to enhance the book’s emotional impact.
