Brief 01 Production

COVER

As I mentioned previously, the main target is graphic designers or art students,

for that reason I wanted for my cover something quite different or infrequent. The

book, SHEILA HICKS by Irma BOOM gave me the solution. Indeed she damaged her book completely aware. It made the book unique and really interesting. 

Indeed graphic designers or students are always attracted by uncommon publication or less common at least. It will be a reason for them to buy the book. Also the first impression/feelings is the most important. The cover has to make the reader want to open the book.

So I decided to engrave my cover’s paper which gives a tactile aspect as well.

Plus my book have two ways of reading, that's why I put the same illustration on both

the front and back cover because I didn’t want it to have an ending.

Finally I decided to hide the solutions of my stories with the cover, for me it’s a simple way but efficient to cover it.

I chose a saddle stitch for binding, and a digital printing. It the easier and cheaper way to do a book which has less than 16 sheets.

PAPER

Finally for my papers, I took inspiration from the travel diaries. Indeed my book

deals with the travel world too. That’s why I chosed paper in brown tints with an

antique aspect. Indeed my story deals with the travel, as the title say, it a book on a departure.
One of my classmate also think it can be link with the seaside and holidays world.
