- Design a book cover for one of the following:
a.) “Rosemary’s Baby” by Ira Levin: use complementary colours to express anguish and uncertainty.
b.) “Animal Farm” by George Orwell: use analogous colours with a contrasting accent to express disagreement and discontent.
c.) “The Secret Garden” by Frances Hodgson Burnett: use secondary colours to express naivety, honesty and harmony. - The book cover must contain the title and the author’s name.
- You must clearly make use of colour to express the desired effects.
I choose to make a book cover for “The secret Garden”, by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I used one of my own photos here aswell, editing it to better capture the magic and mystery behind a secret garden. First i edited the photo, giving the highlights a yellow and a magenta tint. This creates a more magical fairy tale like effect for the photo, the yellow also helps make the golden gate pop out more. The gate being gold shows that this is a more magial place, not just any normal garden gate. I also added a purple/blueish colour for the shadows, making the photo more complete. This is my result:
