Book Cover: The Final

 OK, this project was a pain in the neck. Literally. After who knows how many hours on the computer, I've finally created my masterpiece!! So, maybe not really a masterpiece, but pretty cool in any case.


I'm so happy with how it turned out!! I overlaid textures onto all the buildings individually, and added the text onto the Ministry pyramids.  As for the back, I got some quotes off of Amazon (thank you by the way!) and used the pyramid shapes as paragraph spacers and to create implied line on the spine.  I looked up the original publisher, and created a quick logo for them because I felt like it.

Honestly, my favorite part of the cover is probably the back, especially those 4 pyramids at the bottom that look kind of creepy.  Kinda random, but it's still my favorite part!  I created the barcode in Photoshop, and in retrospect, I probably should have made it smaller, but oh well.

Here's a closer look at the cover.



















And here's the cover upside down, because  I know you're curious :)

It was a screenshot at an earlier stage, which is why it my look a little bit different, especially the texture of the dystopic Ministries...
