Front cover

For my front cover I didn't want to give away too much of what is inside of the book so that people would be interested to open it. I still wanted the cover to communicate what the subject of the book is so I decided to have a paint palette as the main image. I used water colour paint for the image then scanned it in, I decided to have the palette yellow as this colour continues through the book and I think this ties everything together nicely. I thought with the palette in the centre it gave the cover a nice composition and made it look striking. I also decided that I wanted to include big bold lettering for the title so it would be visible from far away, for this I used a hand drawn lettering style. I then added a little tag line at the top of the page to balance out the composition and finally added my name in a little black oval, I placed the name off centre to add a bit of movement throughout the image as this will guide the viewers eye around the page. When I had completed the image I still felt as though it needed something so I added a very faint texture in the background and this finished off the cover nicely. Overall I am happy with how the front cover came out because I think it looks very interesting and on trend.
