Second Book cover : TYPOGRAPHY
I decided to do a Second Book cover because I wanted to see if I could do anything different with another image. The image that I randomly picked did not need any changes done so I left image and focused on the typography and font.
Because the background was quite bright it was just a close up of flowers:
1. I thought the writing should be in italics or should be presented as a girl's handwriting, joined up pretty
2. I needed to use neutral colour like black or white because they would not fade into the background
In doing so, I found it very difficult to find the right font was looking for the closet font I found was this:
The problem I found with the font was that it was too thick and bold and I started to reconsider the kind of font I wanted to use. But the font for the Author was the one that I liked so I decided to use it for the title instead. Then I changed the Author's font and colour so that it could stand out more.
In the end I decided to use these two fonts, it was just the placing the of the words now so instead of aligning them down the centre line I decided that I would align the Author's name to the left vertically. As for the title I decided that I would place it off the centre but somehow connect the title and the Authors name using the 'of' and 'the'. I did this because I though it would look very interesting and different compared to the other Book cover.
