Book Covers

I was asked to design a series of covers or a title sequence for at least 4 books from a selection of book sets. Set 1 – Alan Warner, Set 2 – ‘Futureshock’, Set 3 – Puffin Classics and Set 4 – Rough Guides. I was asked to consider how my designs could be utilised as a packaging solution for a box-set. I needed to provide the following information that consisted of the format of the book, the size, function and a blurb. My books also had to have the same size cover, front design, back and spine. I had to remember to define my audience for the books and my choice of publisher would be important as my book designs would have to reflect the typical output of the company. First I chose set 2, the ‘Futureshock’ books, this set of books was unfamiliar to me and the titles made me want to know more about them. The publisher that I chose was penguin modern classics. I chose this because I wanted my format to be photography and style to be clean and fresh, and I felt that this collection would fit best for my designs.
