Book Cover


My design is based on the first paragraph from the book; a description of the main street in Barcelona, Las Ramblas, in which the author compares the bright colours of the fruit trees and flower stalls, and the noise and bustle of the crowds, with the city's darker side of immigrant pickpockets and drug dealers. I feel that i definetly picked up on both these elements while i was in Barcelona. I created the design using aluminium foil and prints, and used photoshop to arrange and edit. Overall im really pleased with this image; the three elements of 3d, print, and Photoshop design fit well together, as do the colours used. The shadow of the same image suggests the contrast i intended to achieve. I struggled a bit with the title, having not really considered it during the design process. I cant decide which of the two above works best.
