My Book covers

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)
And added a little bit of humor to it!! (The smily face is one of my fridge magnets).


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???)




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)

Here the idea was influenced by an image of binary (Binary is the "language" or "Code" if you will of computers ...Matrix anyone?) so the cover i created here is a Brave new world through the access of digital media or the internet even! a world that holds alot of good but also alot of evil...
