Project #5

I knew Project #5 would be difficult to execute because it’s hard to make something creative when it’s already been done. Choosing a a popular book’s front cover design was hard. I wanted to choose something that represented me, my interest, and something that would be creative to design. I went with The Devil Wears Prada by Lauren Weisenberg. It was hard choosing an image because I wanted to stick with the feeling and emotion of the original cover, but adding my own twist to it. I had to choose an image that wasn’t provocative or costume-like but that represented fashion and sassiness. I tried to choose text/font that was clear and legible, but at the same time that had an artistic flair. I didn’t want to be too over-the-top yet not simple either. I was pleased with the overall design and execution of the text, but I felt like the overall book design was too cliche and simple. With the last two projects, I’ve had a creative drain, but now I’m excited about the new project and I’ve had a jolt of creative energy.
