Final Design

Here is my final book cover design. I have made a few small changes to the front cover that was created in the previous post. These are:

• I have changed the colour of the font from light brown to a darker one. This was to make it look more sinister and closer to the colour of blood.
• I have added a white to grey gradient rather than a full white background. I showed one of my classmates my previous design and he commented that the full white background looked to clean for the tone I was trying to portray. The grey represents misery - relating to the book.
• The final change is simply some flies around the pig's head. Again my classmate commented that adding these would make the title clearer.

On the back of the book I have included a blurb as well as a quote from reputable organisation that readers would trust. I have also added slightly transparent picture of an island that the story could be based on. The front cover doesn't visually say much about what the story about. I thought adding in another visual like this would help readers build up an idea of what the story was about.
