Sense and Sensibility was Austen’s first published novel. Its success provided the launchpad for her writing career.

For all our book advertisements, we created front-page layouts inspired by the title pages of the original first editions. Our AI image focuses on telling the story of three sisters, even though the narrative primarily centres around two. We imagined a portrait of the sisters in an intimate vignette, accompanied by a 21st-century tagline:

​

 

“Three sisters, forced from their home.
At the mercy of distant relations.
A tale of romance, deep love, and unbearable heartbreak.”

​

The sisters are depicted as close to their actual ages,thirteen, sixteen, and nineteen, as possible. In nearly every screen adaptation, the actresses are aged up. The exception, perhaps, is Kate Winslet, whose portrayal of Marianne felt genuinely sixteen. Unlike most of the AI produced imagery which passed though our studio we left the .ai-generated fashion untouched bu other digital manipulations. Though it leans toward Victorian styling, it carried a softness and a rightness that felt entirely in keeping with the tone we were looking for.
