These are just simple modifications I have done to the final cover layout in terms of layout just to see which small change works best with how the final cover looks. If my design was shortlisted, I would get a list of modifications back to adjust to the cover design anyway.
Final Resolution
My approach to this live brief was to
create a book cover design that would reach the widest audience possible; as
the book is not necessarily just for children I was not limited to appealing
the cover to a younger audience. Sue Townsend intended the Adrian Mole series
to be loved by all ages as she carries on writing about him when he’s in his
50’s therefore designing a cover in the style I have allows it to be received
by a wide audience. The crumbled effect on the book cover has been used to
represent how the book is a daily journal/diary completed by Adrian, it
highlights the fact his family are working class and are struggling for
money. The typography that I have used
on both the front and back are varied, I have not used the same font for the
whole cover because that would make the design very dull and unappealing to the
teenage audience, the hand drawn style font has been used solely for the
purpose to emphasise the book is a personal diary. The colour red has been a
repetitive colour throughout all of my design ideas therefore it was only
appropriate to carry it through to my final design outcome, red represents the
symbolism of the socks that represent Adrian’s behavioral change and the change
in his family life at home. That is also why I have included the red socks as a motif on the book cover, along with
others that have a significant purpose to the storyline.
