A bloody portrayal of 80s yuppie culture, frozen in time

‘American Psycho Book Cover’, Role: Creative Direction & Design

As a mega fan of Bret Easton Ellis, I decided to re-design the cover of my favourite book. 

“I need to return some videotapes” - Patrick Bateman’s infamous alibi became the central design narrative for this piece. Freezing real pig’s blood using mould techniques found traditionally in the catering industry, the ‘videotape’ never seen in the book or film now lies in the audience’s hands - extending the narrative of the book into touch and feel.
