Here are the final book covers for my work. I am really happy with how they have turned out. Although this was a tough process of idea generation, layout and figuring out the minor details I feel like the final cover looks really good and could actually be produced and marketed.
If i would of done anything differently I would of maybe tried playing around with textures. It would be really cool if the motif was raised (flock printed) or if simply just felt different to the rest of the cover. This little detail adds character to the book and makes it special to the buyer. It causes people to treasure a book and keep it on the shelf rather than just read it and move it along. This is the reason why I designed it so that all the page edges were coloured; like in the Twilight saga books that I detailed previously. Although the attention to detail costs a little more in production costs, it means that the book is set apart when it is on the shelf from the other books around it. Personally I feel that the extra costing is more than worth it and will become a collectors item for those who have already read the books.
