ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND


BOOK & COVER DESIGN

This project reimagines Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland as a limited-edition publication, translating the narrative into a contemporary visual interpretation tailored to a specific audience and thematic focus. The design includes a unique book cover that captures the essence of the story and a thoughtfully designed presentation of the novel’s first chapter.

While Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is often regarded as a children’s tale, this interpretation foregrounds its deeper psychological and dramatic dimensions. The featured first chapter explores themes of fantasy and psychodrama, including abandonment, denial, distorted realities, coming of age, and underlying social tensions. These elements add emotional depth and complexity to Alice’s journey, allowing the story to resonate from a more mature perspective. Additional themes woven throughout the design include the fluid nature of time, the thrill of adventure, and the tension between logic and absurdity, reality and dreams, innocence and darkness. The project’s central communication goal, “the absurdity of dreams mirrors the logic of reality”, captures the protagonist’s experience as she navigates a world that both reflects and distorts the psychological challenges of growing up. Due to these more serious undertones, this limited edition is designed for a mature adult audience, specifically individuals aged 18 to 50, who can engage with the novel’s existential themes and layered meanings beyond its traditional classification as a children’s story.
