Book Cover Final


Here is the final book cover for The Secret Garden. I changed both the front and the back. I also changed one of the tabs. I think it looks much better than the previous. You have to click on it to look at it close up. There are some faded like tree leaves and branches towards the top. I like how it turned out.

Book Cover



Here is my book cover. I chose to do The Secret Garden... Different I know. This has actually come a long way from what I had at the start. I totally forgot to post the beginnings of it. It used to have a "not so good" color scheme and a terrible, terrible choice of font for the title and just typography in general. I think this is a different approach compared to the very cliche book covers that have been done. You know, the old English style paintings and garden gate photo's, with the kids playing in the garden. Mine I feel is different, new-aged and fresh. I still have some changes though. I need to change the front and do like a keyhole kind of look instead of another vector like garden for a focal point. I also need to change the color of the title. The back needs work with composition and space. I also need to change the font size. I need to look at some books again and see what other elements I'm missing to make this thing look more legit.
