Project 4

I wanted to create a book cover series that helps introduce children to classic novels. I was thinking something like this. These images are not mine, at the moment I plan on creating my own but here are just some sample images.

Project 3 Illustrator

Reworked some of them in illustrator. Started to get something I really enjoy. Friend is out of town so I am going to have to pause until she has a chance to see them in person.

Project 3 sketches

Some sketches I worked out for the serious design. I am a little iffy on them. I am going to take some into illustrator and see if I can work with them to get something I like a little more.

Project 3: does and donts

I spoke with my client about differn things she wanted. Some of the key conspets that I walked away with were:

1. No Sans-Serif: she stated that she hates them.
2. Simple: The logo must be simple enough for her to burn in the wood after carving, so if it is detailed I most make an additional one for the branding iron.
3. She wanted a fun design and a serious design.
4. Does not care if the name of the company is on it or not. In fact she might prefer it because she was still questioning the companies name itself.
5. Wanted to focus more on her name. Lindsey K. Butler (she wanted some sort of name play)
6. Black and White

Project 4 Ideas

I have always loved books and would be really interested in redesigning covers for classic books. I was thinking about having a focus on typography.  I also want them to be simple, some what inspired by the classic penguin covers.
