book cover design

Book cover 

After all ten pages designs were done and I was happy with the outcomes and how they looked I stated my book cover so I look in to the target maker was I I had a clear idear of a design.

I wanted to make the book cover simple so it would make my drawings standout so I looked at some of the pages I done and I picked the strongers ones for the 10 design.

And then I set up the double page for the book cover and mapped it out with the guide's then I used the fill took to make it all black.

After that was done I used one if my designs and went round the image with the pen tool and made it a a shape. After that I place it on to the double page and used a front called next bold I used this don't because it was a nice and easy.

After the design was done I still wasn't happy with the outcome so I went out to look how I could improve it so I ask some of my class mates and friend's for answers and I came up with move the font around and removing the A out of giant and outing in the ironman.

Then I placed to designs from some of the pages I done into the background and made them grey so they stood out.

After all the drawings We're done and I was happy with them I put them in to photo shop to clean up the line work I started buy I went round the image with the pen tool then I used the fill tool to fill in all the spacers I missed I I made the image jet black to make the imager clean and professional. 

When I was happy with the out come I put up guides around the image to put in place the 5m bleed.

After designing and mapping out the design of the iron man and to pick one I was happy with I started putting parts of scenes for the back ground I came up with using the noire style for the artist research in to the art of sin city it really helped with the design and layout of the images you can see in this post

The process I uses was with three types of pen I used I Big back pen for the big spaces and a smaller black gel pen for the more smaller and detailed bits of the out come like the iron man
