Book Series After working with my Illustrations for my book covers, I’m happy with the final arrangement of the shapes behind the text. Next step is to water colour the illustrations. Ill be printing them off to then scan it back in water coloured.
Spatial Typography These are the two books I have brought for my Spatial Typogrography Project. I brought two different shapes of book so that I could try the experiment on both to see which one works best. I’m unsure as to how I would cover the writing on the first book, maybe I don’t need […]

The shapes here are supposed to demonstrate […]
As the beginning of designing my book cover design, I have experimented with arrangement of my book title. This will be the most graphic part of my book because the illustrations I will pen tool on Illustrator and then will water colour. Leaning each letter different ways was influenced by the two book cover designs […]
