Drafting Book Cover Ideas

These are my final 8 draft front cover ideas. These ideas vary in style and design. It is a good idea to cover a wide range of designs in order to see which would go best as a complete and proper book cover.

Digital Type Choices

Designed Subject Type

This is my attempt at producing a typeface similar to that of JRR Tolkien. I took great inspiration from him and so wanted to in some way slightly mimic his style.

Book Cover Emulation

 This is my book cover emulation using my chosen element - watercolour. I like watercolour and I'm happy with how this emulation ended up.

Book Cover Copy

This is the original book cover that I have chosen to produce a copy of.

This is my first attempt. I thought that I could do better if I tried again, so I did.

This is my final copy. I am happy with this copy, but with more practise I could make a copy that is even better.

Cover Analysis

This is the analysis of an actual book cover that I took from the internet. I did it in order to analyse the features of a book cover so I could attempt to implement them into my final book cover.
