I really like the cover of this book because the writing stands out so clearly against the
background. This has been achieved because the only colour on this cover is blue which
highlights the shadows and light. Therefore the font has been created in flat white and is
positioned in the foreground to make it stand out. The shape of the font in this cover echo's the
forms created by the arch in the background of the imagery. This technique is effective at
emphasising the writing and making the font and the imagery work harmoniously. The text of
this cover is written completely in capitals even the less important text. This effect creates unity
on the cover linking all the text together, along with the use of the text all in white. On this
cover I like that the font for the title is larger than the rest of the font on this cover, also they
have depicted the less important information in decreasing font size.
The cover of this book has been solely focused on the text rather than the imagery which has
been positioned in the background and is a small scale. The font on this cover has also been
framed by an illustrative pattern which draws the viewers attention towards it. I like this cover
design because if I create a poster in this design I could create a similar effect that Albert
Bierstadt created in The Oregon Trail and have the sun shine through the font. The font on
this cover is very unusual because the words are symmetrical and have been the letters have
been positioned at all different heights. The font on this cover is also irregular because the text
has been written with letters randomly being in capitals or not. The writing on this cover is still
easy to read though because the font colour is light which contrast to the dark background
colours. When I create my poster I would like to use this effect because it is common place in
all the fonts I have analysed so far.
