A Kind of Mutiny

The second book cover for graphic design. This cover had to be text-driven, as the last one was image-driven. The story is about a man who gets his thumb cut off by a saw in his workshop. His dog grabs the thumb and won't give it back. His wife eventually gathers the tattered thumb and gets him to the hospital but it is too late to attach the thumb. With the loss of his thumb, the man begins to abuse drugs and neglect his workshop. He begins to hate his dog for his disloyalty and hate his wife's perfect hands. I attempted to recreate his neglected workshop and decomposing sanity with a peeling plaster background, while the slice through the word mutiny and the dislocated text hint towards the saw accident.
