Image and typography

I first created simple typography to create the quote but seemed very boring. But like the layout.

.




I used textures of photographs of each image. I think it works really well but would this work with all the rest of the quotes?


I put duotone on this, weather it could be screen printed?

Sunrise sonnet



This makes the sonnet more modern and fresh. Great typography for showing the background image because it's thick and long, can still see the sunrise.



This is also a modern look but haven't really picked up the sunrise, this could be where the typography is placed.



This is a lot more quirky. Which personally I prefer and is very readable. The streakes of colours works really well but not quite showing.



The white box shaped also makes it different and modern. This typography and photograph looks to busy, but can clearly still see the sunrise.





The background image is too light to notice the typography.



This is again the same style but the typography is the most least modern and quirky typography.



This looks a lot better, Great effect and doesn't spoil the photograph but still able to read the sonnet.



Again this also works. I haven't change the shade of the image I just slightly moved it.



I made the typography a shade lighter, But might be to hard to read.



Again done the same made the typography a shade darker this time. But I find really impossible to read because the text is too close together.



I think this quite a boring image the typography is too flat.

Sunrise sonnet

This is the idea I wanted to produce typography over photographs.

I first simply put typography that suited the subject. But I feel that it has lack of consideration.



I think the smaller typography works better as looking at the phtotgraph.
The sun reflections give's a great effect adding that early morning look.



The typography on the top of the sun works better, as the eye looks at the sonnet and then the sun.







Looks flat, I think the typography layout doesn't fit in with the image.

Sonnets

This is one of the Shakespeare Sonnets. Ans I took photo's for this sonnets as a sonnet in Cumbria very aerly in the morning (4.00am).

Flatter the mountain-tops with sovereign eye,
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;

Development

This is a booklet I created to play on making notes how to improve an what to choose for typography and playing around in layout.






The smiley faces idea was to create smiley faces stickers, when you do well like you do school already.

Final Product

This the product I have done finshed and sent to Country Cakes and see what they think. Still waiting for a reply.





School Answers

This a booklet I created designed to show daft answers used in exams.
The ideas was to produce a booklet that looked like an exams paper.




I used pink stock paper to make more school. The doodles was to show the student being bored and wrote quirky questions. I think its a working process not yet happy with it. It has a lot potential to make it great.



More skin

This is the same development design but using the typography go down the side rather across.






The look less interesting to look at than the other designs. Likes its been done before.


Skin

I have moved on from the origianl images to skin but if they work I will phtotgraph my own version of skin texture.

The skin idea is about the characters obsession of smell and the purety of a smell of a girl. So the book is about the closeness of the skin at its detail of the audiences can go up close to the skin.


This is agin the same layout of the other book designs, I think they are more effective and interesting.



White background textured of the skin typography. I swopped the design the other way round but find it a bit boring its not as effective.


I also choose another design of the skin background but with drips on the skin could be the idea of the perfume on the skin.


This I think personaly is the one that works best out of all of them. lighter skin tones of the pail and purety design idea.


The black also works well makes the typography stands out more. Might really work with the book theme.




The works better as an theme to murderer with blood. I've also made the image see through to the red.

Design Ideas

The Perfume book cover idea was to use the original book cover they work well but might use different image in the background.


Using the typography 'Didot' making the image and typography match the theme of Perfume, but also making it modern.


I used white blocks make it more interesting experimental.
Its quirky and I specific cover the woman in the image but leaving the hand visible like a dead body.


Used the similar layout but with colour having a pink and red tint. The idea was to insinuate lush, passion and love.


Again used the same style in blocks but centered rather being slanted to the right.
