My final design for Studio Brief 1 is an illustrated cover of the accused rapist in the book - Tom - wearing dungarees. The dungarees are the main feature, with the title of the book in stitch style type on the front pocket of the dungarees and the author in sans serif type at the bottom of the book.
The illustration was created in Illustrator out of blocks and a grain was applied to the illustration to make it more authentic and less vivid. Ideally I would've made the cover out of fabric and stitched the title into the fabric.
I altered the typeface from Baskerville to Futura to reflect the modern style of illustration as per the advice in the crit, and this alteration makes the cover come together more, as before the typeface didn't fit.
