The narration is a reworded text derived from an official advertisement for "The Fever Code" (can now also be seen in the front flap of the book!). It was reworded to align with the order of the books' settings, which are presented backwards, because I wanted "The Maze Runner" to be last.
Artwork for the setting of "The Death Cure" book. Design influenced by the book's different covers and inferences from book descriptions given.
Molecular influenced line work pattern to depict "The Plague (The Flare)". I wanted the impression of line work as transitions between the different books/environments, but also as illustrations that represented what was being narrated and as something scientific (the embodiment of W.I.C.K.E.D). So that by the time you reached the end of the motion piece, things felt like that they were being constructed and man made, what started it all.
Artwork for the setting of "The Scorch Trials" book. This illustration was finished after only the official trailers/poster for the movie was released, so I kept only those in mind as I designed this. To note, the final motion design project was completed the same day as "The Scorch Trials" was released in theaters, which motivated me greatly to finish this piece.
To transition from "The Scorch Trials" to "The Maze Runner," I created line work that I wanted to appear as nerves (a nod to the character of the Cranks) intersecting with a maze-like structure.
Artwork for the setting of "The Maze Runner," mainly a part of "The Glade" environment. Additional trees, fire, and effects were notably added in afterwards. The official movie also helped and was a heavy influence as I created this piece.
My simplified version of the maze, influenced by Wes Ball's (the director of the Maze Runner movie series) depiction of the maze. The combination of the curved lines with the inner parts' rigid lines seemed more appealing.
