Achilles, Come Down

I created a narrative book cover based on the song Come Down Achilles by Gang of Youths. The goal of this project was to evoke the emotion and message of the music through imagery and color. The song is a plea from a friend not to give up and come back to their true identity. Historically, Achilles was the greatest of the greeks but was fated to die. He was the embodiment of the struggles of being human. I chose to visually convey the human characteristic of strength and perseverance despite the odds of failing.
