Take your most successful one (or two) directions from Wednesday class and continue to refine / improve. Refer to your concept statement for direction and meaning. Think about hierarchy and entry points for your viewer. Study your inspiration and make your own solutions look complete—all the necessary information should be incorporated into your design.
So far we have been working on the cover of the book only, which will measure 6x9 inches (portrait). As you begin to have a more complete set of covers, begin to move your solutions to the full bookjacket format. (Click to enlarge.)
Explore another five covers for each of your refined directions from Wednesday, then move your most successful (or your favorite) into the full bookjacket format. Ideally, I would like to see all of your cover sketches and one complete series of bookjackets, printed full size (can be black and white but color would be best).
Email me with questions and solutions for me to critique. Without lots of strong visuals Monday you will be behind. Keep seeking out inspiration and observing great book design.
