Oh and heres my Dada Poem

Book Cover Series: 5

Here's how I presented the Books on matte board, just thought I'd throw that on here as well.

Book Cover Series: 4

So here are the Final versions. All resolved and worked out. The colors changed some to become more uniform, the type treatments all were worked to be able to work as stand alone or as a series, there is similarity and yet some differences. The Titles were all placed in the same area and some had treatments and others were left in their original state. The back was treated the same for the two pieces of type, the bottom bit was a description of the author and the upper bit was an excerpt from the book. Those two paragraphs were worked in many places until I found the right place for them. The three words that serve as design elements as well as descriptive words about the book were meant to be more playful in placement. Yet at the same time they are there to serve as a play on the story/book content to take on the aesthetic of the book or even the character of the book or its described persons in it.
I also choose the make the books, I printed the covers and the Laboriously folded and cut, like a freak-in ream of paper. I perfect bound the papers and warped the covers around the bound dummy books to have a very Real Looking Book Series. It was a tremendous pleasure doing this project very fun and new to me. And yes book making has become sort of a hobby now I enjoy the process and crafty-ness of it all.

Book Cover Series: 3

So here are the early versions of the covers (Notice Crumpled Paper as Texture). playing with the imagery and colors and titles at this point.

Book Cover Series: 2

So these are the two cover I mentioned in my previous post.

Book Cover Series: 1

So these are the Images I worked with to begin the design process. I wanted imagry that related to the content in the books but also wanted to be able to do a similar or same treatment to all three. So after researching I found two interesting cover that had the image wrap the cover across the spine and that led me to doing a mirror image on the front and back of the book covers.

flip book video...

am trying to figure out how I can get a video of this thrown together that works well enough to not have to turn this in physically but would gladly just turn in the flip book too.
Also just noticed the Pics are all backwards!! sorry, the book goes from one piece of type to the end with 8 bits of type...
