Book Cover Designs

 

Having sketched out my designs I began working on my book covers.

I scanned my hand paint sketches in Adobe Photoshop, then added a background of either a flag or appropriate pattern. I experimented with various paint effects over the top.

I added the book titles in a bold font and experimented with different overlays to blend with the background.

 

 

 

I am not entirely happy with my designs. I feel that I haven't really been able to achieve what I wanted to.

The hand painted images look a bit dull against the bright backgrounds. The feedback I received from others also suggested that I should have more illustrations on each cover to create a better collage effect.

I also feel that each design contains too many colours. I think I should work with a more selective colour palate in order to create more striking designs.
