Dumbo: Redesign is a handmade A5 hardcover re-interpretation and design of children’s classic Dumbo. Text was adopted from Disney’s A Little Golden Book series of ‘Dumbo’. 

​

In the story, Dumbo’s key interactions with other characters like his mother and Timothy Mouse are summarised through key concepts. The concept for the cover re-design was adopted from the story content, with ‘Arise’ and ‘Defence’ being expanded upon for the  cover, jacket and half-jacket design.

​

A triangular motif containing shapes and primary colours is used to express the theme of ‘Defence’, while referencing the motifs of a circus. The jacket is translucent with a design that accompanies that of the book cover. The cover design can be seen emerging from under the jacket design, portraying the theme of ‘Arise’.
