    Chimp Paradox

    This project is based on The Chimp Paradox, where I developed a book cover and accompanying visual elements inspired by my interpretation of the text. I explored the book’s psychological themes and translated them into a bold, conceptual design approach. My response focused on communicating the internal “chimp” and “human” mind metaphor through composition, colour, and symbolism, creating a visually engaging cover suitable for the Penguin Book Cover Awards
