Book Design


The book design project is suppose to "explore how images and text generate a range of ideas and emotions." On Wednesday I went to the Falun Dafa art exhibit at the Memorial Union; it illicited quite a few emotions, so I thought it would be a great subject to create a fictious book cover for. The picture is actually a painting from the exhibit and I laid a photo of prison bars over the top. The text paragraph would probably be on the back of an actual book, although I looked through quite a few examples of books on Amazon and some do have a generous amount of text on them. I used quite a few effects on the text and am pleased with the final outcome. I have to say, I went to the exhibit directly after my bike had been stolen from the campus. I went in feeling pretty sorry for myself, but left with an entirely different set of emotions. I hope this book cover does the same for you.
