Here is my final book cover of the classical composer Leo
Brouwer. I will start with my color scheme which is a burnt orange. I choose this color because it brings out
the back and white photo of the artist. It makes it contemporary yet old
fashion, plus it catches the eye. In my typography I used two types of font, Slom
which has a standard font and School house Cursive B which is a type of script.
I used a yellow color so that there is a contrast effect to the background color.
The black and white photo I kept in a grayscale and did plenty
of touching up on his face, legs and hands. The original photo was taken at a low
quality so I increased the resolution to about 300 and manually adjusted the
brightness/contrast.
I also did not have InDesign and did the best I could with aligning and measurements. I was trying to design a book that was mysterious
and unique well maintaining a classical feel. I hope I got close!
