OUGD504 - Studio Brief 1 - Cover Design

To keep into consideration that each cover was going to be printed in it's relevant topic, at the same time as following the same style and being consistent with the rest of the project the covers needed to be very simple.

The reason for this is both the lino-cut process as well as the embossing process. If the design is too delicate, detailed or complicated it won't be embossed successfully or cut out of linoleum accurately. I decided to design them all with a border in the relevant theme colour as well as just have the bold sans serif typeface with a sideways orientation.

These will be printed onto 300gsm canaletto stock as it's colour closely resembles the cartridge paper used inside the book as well as being thick enough to withstand a deep emboss.
