Brief 3 - Judge a book by it's cover

Initial stages of development

For this project we have to re design an existing book cover from the library. I chose a book about consciousness as i felt there is so much imagery around the subject but I wanted to try and create an alternative perspective.

This is the book. Because the design is so retro i have every intention of creating a modern twist -  more simple with less colour, as the complexity of the book design over powers the meaning.

I aim to play around with simple shapes and line drawings as well as more expressive brush work.
