Clockwork Orange Cover Revised

Cuckoo cover revision


I am not happy with the Cuckoo's nest cover at them moment so I tried another idea, as well as using elements of the old design that I like to create a new one.

corrections

Corrections that need to be made from looking at the initial mock up's.





Initial mock ups

These are my initial mock ups of three of my five book covers. I think that they work well size wise and all my measurements are correct.



I think that the spines work really well together as a set.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

These are my five book covers at present. I think that the colour palette is working as a set but it is not 100% there yet. I think I am happy with 1984 (although the text needs re-arranging), I am happy with Lolita and almost there with clockwork orange.

1984 idea....


Alternative cuckoo's nest cover



I have been working on some other possible resolutions for the Cuckoo's nest cover. I am really not satisfied with the one that I have already created. I tried another design that I had come up with, but I'm not sure I like that either. I like the concept of syringes, but I don't think that they work when they are enlarged this much.

I also tried some birds under the idea of 'cuckoo's'. I think this works okay, but I feel that the concept is too straight forward and obvious.
