Cover

One of the main areas I needed to look appealing was the front cover I needed the imagery to work in with what the book showed therefore I needed a new tattoo design which summed up the book without looking to much better than the designs inside, I had a strong idea of what I wanted to compsition wise and that was link in the all seeing eye with the triangle some scroll shapes and rays with type, I chose to call the book Slaves of Grace.


















After adding to a lot of the imagery I thought that it could be cool if I tried something odd with manipulation and the image:


















It turned out to be over complex and many of the class chose the other image I originally chose to use, i put the type at the top subtly as the title didn't really matter it was just a form of identification, the image was the main sell point I added victorian like decorations to the corners to draw attention to the centre of the book.


















The book was the only part of the product which I wanted to use colour on, I thought that a old school crimson would look amazing with black.


















I even tried flipping the colours but it didn't work out quite as well.


















I drew out the products first stage of development and then added colour as i thought it would look amazing to use 2 colour plus stock on the produce.


















Once uploaded I messed around with the editing of the image and digitalised the pyramid so it will come out nice and smooth.


















As a final this is how it will look before screen printing takes place.
