Jim Tierney designed a beautiful set of covers for some of Jules Verne's most famous works.  The project was carried out as part of his senior year thesis. 
He says:
I'm a big Verne fan, but a chance to re-design any classic book is always exciting. Classics usually allow for a more personal interpretation, since most people are already vaguely familiar with the premise of the books, and I didn't have to compete with one well-known cover, as I might have with a more recent book.
You can see the full set on the Faceout website.
