empowering challenges

empowering knowledge

your actions are surpressed, but your mind isn’t. the government controls

everything and desires for complete authority, but with your mind running free,

you feel contempt. in three different books, the youth challenges the injustices

imposed by their government.

in a game of life and death where every action is accounted for and people are

examining your every move, the only objective is to fight. that is, at least for

three ambitious catalysts from each book in this series.

the hunger gaMeS

by Suzanne collinS

collins, an american television writer and novelist began her career in 1991

writing for children’s television shows for nickelodeon such as clarissa explains

it all, the Mystery Files of Shelby Woo, little bear and more. She was inspired

to write children’s books after meeting James proimos, who is also a children’s

author. also inspired by alice in Wonderland, collins imagined what it would

be like to fall down a hole and end up somewhere other than a tea party. after

writing several books, she released the hunger games trilogy in 2008, which

acquired plenty of attention and has been on the new york times best Seller list

for more than 60 weeks in a row. the film will be released in Spring 2012.

other written works include: the underland chronicles: gregor the overlander,

gregor and the prophecy of bane, gregor and the curse of the Warmbloods,

gregor and the Marks of Secret, and gregor and the code of claw, When charlie

Mcbutton lost power, catching Fire, and Mockingjay.

in the ruins of a place once known as north america lies the nation of panem, a

shining capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. the capitol is harsh and

cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one

girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual hunger

games, a fight to the death on live television.

Sixteen-year-old katniss everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she

steps forward to take her sister’s place in the games. but katniss has been close

to dead before and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning

to, she becomes a contender. but if she is to win she will have to start making

choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love. in the end, she

twists the rules so that she and the boy, peeta Mellark can both live. the capitol

is furious, which marks the beginning of an up rise to overthrow panem.

“katniss, the girl who was on fire” —cinna

“only i keep wishing i could think of a way to… to show the capitol they don’t

own me. that i’m more than just a piece in their games” —peeta Mellark

“happy hunger games! and may the odds be ever in your favor!” —effie trinket

katniss is the protagonist because she is the one attempting to overcome

adversity. katniss is definitely a well-rounded character; she has many aspects to

her personality. also, she is dynamic because she changes throughout the novel.

// protagoniSt

the capitol and government in general are the antagonists, led by president

Snow. the society is a more or less flat in character and is oppressive. it’s hard to

determine whether the society is static or dynamic, though in some ways it stays

the same. however, you could technically classify it as dynamic; as you near the

end as it almost becomes more cruel because it felt it’s powers challenged.

by JaMeS daShner

brothers and sisters, and loved every minute of it.

on to receive a Masters degree in accounting. he also took a couple of years off

and served a mission in Japan. Since graduation, afirm, and now currently works

thomas finds himself surrounded by kids who welcome him to the glade—a

large, open expanse surrounded by stone walls.

Just like thomas, the gladers don’t know why or how they got to the glade.

all they know is that every morning the stone doors to the maze that surrounds

them have opened. every night they’ve closed tight. and every 30 days a new

boy has been delivered in the lift. thomas was expected. but the next day, a girl

is sent up—the first girl to ever arrive in the glade. and more surprising yet is the

message she delivers.

thomas might be more important than he could ever guess. if only he could

unlock the dark secrets buried within his mind.

“but there was something about the largest object in the solar system vanishing

that tended to disrupt normal schedules.” —James dashner

“if you ain’t scared … you ain’t human.” —alby

“but happiness had been ripped from their lives. love had been ripped from

their lives” —James dashner

thomas is the protagonist because he begins as a blank slate and leads the

gladers out to their final escape. he genuinely wants to help the gladers

although he doesn’t realize that he is part of the reason they are there in the first

place. however, he is dynamic because he wants to defeat his system and the

creators, as they forced him to create such a horrible torture for children.

// protagoniSt

the creators of the maze are the antagonists. We don’t know much about them

because not much information is given until the very end, and even then we

only know that they are some kind of scientists. however, there is a glimpse

of who may be in charge when thomas discovers a beetle blade with the word

“Wicked” embellished it, which spies for the creators.

ender’S gaMe

by orSon Scott card

newspaper columns. his work has won multiple awards, including back-to-back

wins of the hugo and the nebula awards-the only author to have done so in

consecutive years. his titles have also landed on ‘best of’ lists and been adopted

by cities, universities and libraries for reading programs. the ender novels

have inspired a Marvel comics series, a forthcoming video game from chair

entertainment, and pre-production on a film version. a highly anticipated the

authorized ender companion, written by Jake black, is also forthcoming.card

offers writing workshops from time to time and occasionally teaches writing

and literature at universities. orson Scott card currently lives with his family in

greensboro, north carolina.

Shadow puppets, and more.

Set in earth’s future, the novel presents an imperiled humankind who have barely

survived two conflicts with the Formics, an insectoid alien species also known

as the buggers. these aliens show an ant-like group behavior, and are very

protective of their leader, much like how earth ants protect their queen.

in preparation for an anticipated third invasion, an international fleet maintains

a school to find and train future fleet commanders. the world’s most talented

children, including the novel’s protagonist, ender Wiggin, are taken at a very

young age to a training center known as the battle School.

there, teachers train them in the arts of war through increasingly difficult games

including ones undertaken in zero gravity in the battle room where ender’s

tactical genius is revealed.

“it was what i was born for, isn’t it? if i don’t go, why am i alive?”

“the adults are the enemies, not the other armies. they do not tell us the truth.”

“it only works because what’s between you, that’s real, that matters.”

— all quotes from orson Scott card

“ender” Wiggin is the protagonist, the main character, about whom the action

revolves. the majority of the story is told as events occur to him, and all other

characters have ties to him. While he must deal with his brother peter, and

concentrated fights with a few of the other boys (Stilson, bernard, and bonzo).

// protagoniSt

the buggers are the overall antagonist-the character who stands in opposition

to the protagonist. although it is unclear why, they have fought humans in two

other wars, and now humans are preparing for a third war in which they hope

to defeat the buggers in order for the humans themselves to survive. however,

ender comes to see the adults as the real enemy. graff makes sure that he

learns that he can never count on an adult to come to his aid. he eventually

comes to the conclusion, with the influence of dink, that the adults are

manipulating him, forcing him to become a killer.

proJect oVerVieW

the goal of the project was to unite a set of books of any sort under one main

concept. the bookjacket project provides a unique design problem because each

story can stand for itself, however we have to find ways to connect the dots

and make the targeted audience have a reason to connect the books together.

We have several ways that we can provide this connection; including color, text

treatment, hierarchy, composition, patterns, and more.

i realized i need to work more with the icons i have already created instead

of constantly trying to create new ones. i also had to keep in mind that the

composition of the flat layout was important, but not as important as the

composition of how the book cover will look when folded up. overall, the project

allowed me to exercise what i've learned about spreads in three dimensions.

proJect blurb

in order to empower young adults to defy injustice, my book cover designs

reconnect conflicting viewpoints of revolution, power, and adventure. the iconic

imagery references the clear-cut source of tribulations and the natural instincts of

children during a mandatory time.

The final dust jackets cover hardback books measure 12" x 9" in spread form.
