Edgar Allan Poe - iPad E-Book Cover Set Updated

Here is the set of my three Edgar Allan Poe e-Book covers together in context using the iPad.

Concept: The shape in the top left corner of each cover represents the mental stability of the antagonist in each story. Where the form peeks it represents a period of violence and mental instability. To reinforce the concept of the circle as the start and end of the book there is a system of labels to represent the face of a clock. At the top of the face there is a small dot showing the beginning and end of the novel. 

Imagery: The imagery itself is setting based. The location framed in each cover is where they were left after the murder. The goal here was not to show images of the victims but rather to elude to them. 

The Cask of Amontillado The victim is buried in the wall. The yellow square represents the light burning off of the touch he had dropped behind the wall with his victim before the final brick was placed. 

The Black Cat The cat is hung from a tree outside of the house. The noose hanging from the tree represents this death. 

The Tell-Tale Heart The victim is murdered and buried under the floorboards. The red crack in the floorboards signals that something has occurred and is now out of place.
