Evaluation

Work in progress

Firstly i added in an image from the internet of old worn away paper for my background throughout the book. Then i inserted the chosen type face i thought was suitable for my book. 

Secondly i edited one of my photos in photoshop. I adapted to colour balance and added in an light flare into the image to add light. I used soft yellow and orange colours as the image on the right helped me to develop this colour scheme. 

I then added in old text over the top. I found this image off am old postcard. I changed the opacity and faded it out slightly by using the gradient tool. 

I then added in an image in from a previous 'The Notebook' cover. I found an picture of an polaroid and edited the image in side it. I edited by adding 'noise' and adding a gradient.

For the back page i then added in old postcards, tags and a pencil to fill up the white space that was present. I lowered the opacity to fade them out. I also added ink splashes onto the background to add the effect of someone writing in the olden days. 

Finally, i added in a old stamp to my front cover to carry on the theme. I also moved the title to the bottom of the page to ensure you could see the image in the background. On the left flap i added in a tag and added text. I added in the barcode, publisher, price and website as these are important features when creating a book. I added more than one type face into the book to make the book more visually interesting and not boring. The authors name and review are both in a sans serif type face.

Scamps

By doing these scamps it helped me create my own scamps later on. It gave me some inspiration and i got some ideas on what to do for my own book cover. 

Pin boards full of similar artefacts

These are print screen shots of my similar artefacts, which helped me to develop ideas for my own book cover designs. 

Brainstorming

These are my pages of brain storming. By doing this i got an idea of what order and disorder was and helped me to develop ideas for my inspiration of my book cover.
