Front/Backcover

For my front cover i wanted something simple but hinting as the what the theme is about. I didn't want to put a picture i had previously taken because then the 'surprise' would of been spoiled.
So I began by thinking of something that you can find in all shops that when looked at people know exactly where it is from: receipts!

I began by trying different setups to see which was the best to go on a front cover:





I wanted something that was sleek and clean but to the pound. I Used felt tip to write the title to keep it very natural and to tie it in with the creased receipts. 

For the graphics of the cover i wanted something that wouldn't be too distracting, and what inspired me was a very well known logo: Supreme Logo

What stood out to me from this was the bold look in the middle and the rest blank. 

This was the main image that i thought best represented the book:

This was then tested on a simple white background:

I really liked this look and so decided to go with it.

Back cover:

For the back i wanted the same design of a strip of image against a blank background.

I added some money with the receipts to add another element without it being too overwhelming.





Trying many different angles i chose one that i felt was balanced and visually clean to go onto the back cover:
