Book Cover redesign : Never Let Me Go


The cover depicts a faceless figure engaged in a game of chess, with three symbolic pieces representing Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth. Their positions reflect their roles in the story and the invisible control that shapes their lives.  By using bold color contrasts and abstract lines, the illustration creates a sense of tension and manipulation. To preserve mystery and draw the viewer in, the cover does not depict a literal scene from the book. Instead, it captures the novel’s central themes of control, identity, and fate.
