On the book cover project i was given a choice of three well known books The Medium is the massage,Brave new world and The Secret History upon looking into these i decided to go with the first two! i felt they offered more variety and space to work with designs and ideas these are my final outcomes...This project was one of my favorite throughout the term as i felt it really helped my ability and attitude to design that much more (Im still learning ;)

The smily face image is one of my all time favorite "icons" and i couldn't pass the opportunity to include it somewhere the book itself is "An inventory of effects" and one of the original book covers had an image of a stretched face so i capitalized on that idea (if it aint broke dont fix it)

The two covers here are the same only the color has changed i liked the idea and effect of someone having to stare at the cover and really zoom in on the text to read it!! the back of the cover is like a mirror image of the front (My influence here was a well known album cover of my favorite band...take a guess???)
And added a little bit of humor to it!! (The smily face is one of my fridge magnets).

Drugs is the idea in this cover ...Drugs offer a new dimesion and allows the mind and body to achieve things that would not necessarily occur naturally (The pills are Creatine)
