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.
