What is a line?//West Cornwall

Front Cover Development 

Through the use of photography, this shows the progress of the front cover for the guide book focussing on West Cornwall. Using photoshop the image was adjusted and various types were layered on top to see which would work best.


Firstly the image was cropped so that the A5 format could be identified. 


Adjustments with the colour balance and effects were played with. The opacity was also lowered. The idea was to achieve a more distorted aesthetic and keep it simple. The semi transparent frame was applied to ensure the cover looked a certain style.  



Different types and compositions were played around with to see which would work best. As it was decided to have white typography, it was difficult to ensure the image behind wouldn't make the text hard to read. 



Once a final front cover had been completed, the frame and text was then put onto the an A4 size of the image to create a front and back cover.
