New  Book  Covers  

I  chose  to  use  tac>le  typography  for  the  book  designs  because  it  is  more  interac>ve  and  being  a  kids  book  they  prefer  to  be  more  hands  on.  By  having  tac>le  typography  they  will  be  more  draw  to  the  book  especially  because  it  s>ll  looks  like  a  kids  book.

The  Jungle  Book  front  cover  was  made  out  of  a  collage  of  leaves  stuck  onto  green  painted  paper.  The  le7er  forms  were  then  cut  out  with  a  stanley  knife.  Brown  paper  was  then  placed  under  and  a  picture  was  taken.  The  same  process  was  taken  for  the  back  cover  but  instead  of  cuFng  out  le7er  forms  a  circle  was  cut  and  more  leave  placed  around  the  edge  of  the  brown  paper.  The  other  text  was  added  to  the  images  on  the  computer.  The  typography  added  on  the  computer  was  in  a  jungle  front  but  s>ll  easy  to  read  by  kids.

The  layered  leaves  gives  it  a  forest  look.    I  chose  to  do  that  because  I  wanted  to  represent  the  story  into  the  cover  so  kids  could  get  a  visual  representa>on  of  what  the  book  would  be  about  just  by  looking  at  it.  The  brown  added  in  gives  it  an  earthy  look  and  fits  in  with  the  forest  theme.    

The  new  book  design  of  Rapunzel  was  made  using  the  hair  of  a  young  girl.  The  girl  was  lying  on  a  pink  bed  sheet  and  the  hair  was  shaped  into  the  le7ers,  then  photographed.  For  the  back  of  the  book  the  hair  was  just  placed  differently.  Like  the  jungle  book  text  was  also  added  on  the  computer.    

The  story  of  Rapunzel  focused  on  her  very  long  hair.  Using  the  hair  on  the  new  book  cover  design  helped  symbolize  the  basis  of  the  story.  Using  the  pink  bed  sheet  it  allowed  the  girly  style  to  be  brought  out,  considering  Rapunzel  is  a  girl.

The  design  was  made  out  of  aluminum  foil  to  reflect  the  storyline  of  Alvin’s  out  of  space  daydreams.  Aluminum  foil  is  commonly  used  when  referring  to  out  of  space.  I  also  included  a  dream  cloud  that  the  text  was  placed  on  to  incorporate  the  dream  aspect.  

It  is  a  hard  cover  book  because  of  it  being  part  of  a  collectable  series  which  is  to  be  kept.  Hard  cover  books  are  used  to  keep  longer.  Also  because  it  is  being  handle  by  kids  the  cover  will  not  rip  and  the  inside  content  will  be  more  protected.  The  cover  can  last  through  spilt  drink  or  food  and  therefore  by  having  the  cover  hard  it  is  best  for  the  li7le  golden  book  series  because  it  is  a  book  to  be  kept  and  handed  down  to  your  children’s  children.  With  the  stories  from  the  1940’s  they  are  s>ll  alive.
