Naked Lunch: Product, range, distribution

To unify the 'campaign' for Naked Lunch, I thought it would be a good idea to take some inspiration from the way the book was written - it is mostly in the 'cut-up' technique, making it very disjointed and hard to follow, so I decided to cut-up the initial nude I did (first image) and re-arrange it into different images:

 

The second image is a portrait of Burroughs whose experiences are in the book, the third is a centipede to represent the 'black meat' drug in the book which is made from its flesh, the last image is an abstraction of heroin use. I feel like with these four images I cover most of the themes of the book.

Similarly for the bookmark, I've taken brush marks from the original image to make a vertical design. This has proven to be a very economical but interesting approach to designing a range of imagery.
