The aim of the project was to create a book cover designs for the Annalise Cornelius book Beautifuly Unhinged. The keywords for the book were arachnophobia, mental illness, lesbians, spiritualism etc. The various techniques I’ve used was illustration, photography and pattern.

I begun with doing research of various Penguin publishing book designs, Eastern Asia book designs and Contraversial book designs. I was realy inspired by Eastern imagery and Penguin typograpy design, so I tried to use some of their techniques in my final designs.

Here they are:

For these designs I used various techniques such as Blind drawing, Collage, Illustration, photo montage and experimental photography and the tools to produce those were Computer, Photoshop, Graphic pen, graphic tablet and a camera. Most succesfull results I can get using Photoshop and Tablet, because I have big experience using them, and my skills are well developed to produce good results. Least succesfull techniques for me are low tech mediums and photography, because theese are not things I really enjoy to do.
