Cover design

I began the process of coming up with a cover design. To start off I looked back through my book at the cover thumbnails I had drawn up. I used my favourite one as a guide and re-created it using photographs and text. After further developments I decided I didn't like incorporating the paper bag in the sky so I decided to trace the photograph of the person and scan it in and overlay it onto the paper bag texture which I felt looks much better. I also changed the font to one that looks stamp-like as it reminds me of stamped paper bag lunch bags. It also has a bit of a grunge feel to it which represents the urban setting of Wellington city. The images below show the developments the cover has undergone.
