Evluation
This brief took a lot of thinking and research before I
started designing. I had watched the film A clockwork orange, but not read the
book, so I was aware of key points that would influence my design, but not
aweare of the existing book cover styles.
Obviously the design had to be ‘imaginative and eye
catching’ as the brief specifes this, but also would have to be recognisable,
so I needed to create something different, which was a challenge for me because,
every idea I seeme to come up with, there was already something similar. I
really had to think about line quality, text, colour and layout all to make it appear
different.
I think my design could have been a lot more original, I
liked what I had done, but wasn’t sure whether it is what the brief was really
asking. I did go for the typical look of the character, which they eyes and
hat, but tried to make it different an mysterious by only showing half of his
face. I used a chalky kind of pen tool because in the film I though the
graffitied over wall mural really said something bout the film, so wanted to include
that rough look.
I did enjoy creating this cover, I just think I could have
spent more time developing ideas to make it more original and make it stand
out. You can tell which book it’s for which is what you want for a cover,
something to entise you but not give the story away, which I think mine does,
but it can also be seen as something that’s been done a lot prieviously.
