*Final Book Covers*

After enlarging, cutting, editing, ect. I at last had my final design done. Below is a picture of the template I made for the covers w the actually magazine cutouts and transparencies overlayed on it.  Above are the designs after I scanned them into the Computer.  I ended up having to use photoshop a little to get rid of the outline of the transparencies and make the proportions correct.

Editing

I designed the type layout for the binding. Then I played around with the font size, and layout of it for the titles, and quotes on the back on the covers.  Displayed above are some of the choices I went through.

Cutouts

After I had a bunch of magazine picture cutouts and selected the paper type and color I wanted for my background I put together my initial design for each play, loosely following ideas from my original thumbnails.

Above are examples of magazine cutouts, xeroxes, paper, transparencies, and fonts that I used to construct my Book Covers.

Modern Shakspeare Brainstorm

The plays I selected were "Hamlet", "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and "As You Like It".  I began by writing down words that I associated with each play, then I drew a few thumb nail ideas of the layout for each play. Above are my first sketched/thumbnails...
