BOOK JACKET

In Design, we created a book jacket for our stories. I was a bit inspired by children’s books authors and tried to make it as simple as possible. My font is actually three layers of the same text, but I manipulated it so that it would look more three-dimensional. I used Adobe Illustrator to create the background and InDesign to put all the separate pieces together. I painted the background with Illustrator and used a variety of colors and brushes.

We also worked on a Surrealist piece. I created mine using Photoshop and a variety of tools provided, such as the smudge tool and an oil paint filer. The fruit and brick background are both HDR photography, taken by yours truly. This is one of my favorite Freestyle pieces that I've created because a lot of thought went into it and I was actually happy with the result. That doesn't happen a lot.
