5 Book Cover

                                             

                                                                  

What drew me in on this cover was the hole in the girls body. If the book didn't have a title but just this picture I would have found this book to still be the horror genre. I also think that the font is very appropriate for the cover.

                                                                   

I really like the color yellow in this cover and how it's included in the title. Also the number '5' has a big font then the rest of the title.  I also think that the cover sets the mood that something big is about to happen in the story.

                                                                

I liked the image of the bee have a needle sticking out of it. I also think that the font and color of the front brings out the cover of the book .  The aligment of the words seem to be centered.

                                                      

What I get from this title and the image is that there may be an issue with the lack of fresh water. I thought that the cover was interesting because there is a a lot of water coming out of the girl's eye.

                                                         

I liked the image of just plain water on a white background. I kind of like how simple it looked and the title also looked simple. I also think that the image matches what the title is saying.

BOOK COVER REVIEWS

                                                         

I don't think this cover design does a good job capturing the mood of the story. The Invisible Man had more of a darker theme as the main character who is nameless comes to realize that he is just as ordinary has everyone else. Yet, I don't see that with the green marks on the cover. I also find it difficult to read the title.

 

I find this cover to be more effective in capturing the mood and storyline of the book. i think the darker colors help set the mood of the story and the white letters of the "i" in invisible makes the reader focus on that word and how it may be important in the book. 

Draft of Millennium Student handbook

Describe your own process in creating the competition design
I started out with making a concept board of and I knew that I would want to have a phoenix to represent the school. I also created some thumbnail sketches to help me visualize what I would want on the cover. 

· How did you create your design?
I created by design through Google docs.
· What were your decisions behind the images, text, fonts, and layout choices?
I found it hard to place the phoenix feather on the page. so it took several tries to find the right placement. then I just centered alined the school name and the title of the cover.
· Did you consider the design principles, Proximity, Alignment, Repetition, and Contrast? ­­How?
 I only think I considered were the colors of the text and the aliment. I wanted the colors to be a apart of the school's colors. I also gad to think about want colors would work well on a black background.
