One flew over the Cuckoo's nest book cover


This is an example of the research i collected based on penguin books. I took these examples to give me an idea of previous penguin book designs which i then used for inspiration when creating my own. I have chosen to lay out this research in a creative way, using digital skills in adobe Photoshop rather than on paper. 


Finished Design

To create this design I thought carefully about what the story entails, and from there i recreated my own interpretation of a design which i thought would be suitable. To do this i produced photographs of keys to show the isolation and lack of freedom potrayed within the story of 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest'. My idea was to find a way to display this creating both depth and meaning. To make the design look more simplistic and safisticated i have left a lot of white space which i then applied a textured sheet effect. After experimenting with layout i began experimenting with typography and type style which i thought would compliment the imagery and the style of the design. To add finishing touches to the overall design i then added effects in photoshop creating depth by applying a worn, old effect. To apply the correct blurb information i researched and place the exact one onto my design, to build a connection with both pages i added the same effects to the back page.
