DUNE | cover art & design
When Denis Villeneuve signed on to direct a 21st century version of the Frank Herbert classic sci-fi novel, Dune, he was no doubt aware of the book’s long and lasting history.
With the release of the new movie — and hopefully more to follow on film and tv — Dune is about to have a new wave of resurrected and fresh devotees and art work to feed our frenzy.
wonder | wander |world can’t wait to see the concept art that comes out from all this hype. As art aficionados, we tracked the graphic design and illustration to see how much the book covers changed over the years. As sci-fi geeks, we devoured and dissected all Dune material we could find throughout the decades.
Tracking a classic book like Dune — that tends to get redesigned every few years — clearly captures the design trends then and how they evolved through the years.
Here is our selection of the last few decades of book cover designs through the lens of Dune by Frank Herbert.
While we wait for the latest release and the “Art of Dune” book companion, we can pick our favorite versions from them. For other versions, you can enjoy more designs here as we step into the Dune universe and legacy .
