Howl's Moving Castle - A Novelization Book Cover - image 1 - student project

I wish there was a real novelization of this movie because I would print these for my bookshelf so fast!

I decided to split the book into parts 1 and part 2 so I could make a cover for both main characters, Sophie and Howl.

I took inspiration from the character’s clothes — colors and patterns — as well as iconic imagery from the movie.

Wanted to include several "easter eggs" that fans could easily pick up on.

The layout I felt would be good for both book covers — and maybe other studio ghibli/ hayao miyazaki films.
