This project aims to redesign the cover and sleeve for The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, capturing the haunting beauty and melancholic tone of the novel. The design focuses on themes of fragility, innocence, and the looming tragedy surrounding the Lisbon sisters.

The front cover features a delicate, ethereal photograph of a young girl wearing rosary beads and holding flowers, symbolizing the sisters' innocence and their connection to religious and societal expectations. The typography is soft yet striking, blending seamlessly with the imagery to evoke a sense of nostalgia and foreboding.

The back cover continues the subdued palette, incorporating a synopsis of the story alongside a subtle motif of roses and a rosary, tying into the central theme of delicate femininity and loss. The inside flaps feature a biography of the author and selected review quotes, with muted colors and soft textures that reflect the book's somber yet poetic narrative.

This redesign emphasizes the novel's blend of beauty and sorrow, inviting readers into its world while honoring the timeless nature of the story.
