Winnie and Wolf

Discipline: Book Cover Design | Tags: book cover, fiction, nazi, wagner


I just completed this paperback cover for a novel published by Picador. It's a historical fiction built around an imagined relationship between Winifred Wagner and Adolf Hitler.

The ornamental border comes from a playbill for Richard Wagner's opera Parsifal, and it frames a Nazi propaganda photo that I tinted. 

I also customized/re-drew the title type. It's based on a typeface named Becker that came with this awesome buch.

Thanks for the super-cool (and kinda creepy) project, Henry!

The first image is the approved design, the second and third were also submitted.
