Final book cover design
I decided to tweak some elements of the final cover design based on peer feedback; this helped me identify areas to improve to create a more confident and well rounded design.
The first element that was highlighted by peers was the uneven border around the front cover; it lacked consistency. I still wanted to feature some negative space around the busy texture, so just enlarged the image further and aligned it centrally - this still allowed me to fit the title around the border, which was crucial in the books legibility.
I also was suggested to capitalise the text on the right, as previously it didn't fit amongst the text; this small change allowed the design to look more put together and visually consistent.
The spine was the main area of improvement, as it initially looked quite flat and was illegible to some extent. Consequently, I edited the type to be one strip of text, and used the same rule of cutting out holes to showcase it. The Bryson was also added horizontally to distinguish sections of text.
A more subtle change was the blurb; in order to improve legibility and add more space to the design, the hole for the text was opened up a bit more; this made sense as the blurb is the key part of the back cover design.
