In this project we were to create a book cover that would be as realistic as possible. The goal was to come up with a design that would attract the attention of a person glancing over a bookshelf, and make them want to pick it up for a closer look. The title should be easy to read and eye-catching on both the front cover and the spine. We were also to include a synopsis on the front flap, author information and price on the back flap, and the ISBN and bar code on the back. In this project I worked with both Illustrator and Photoshop to create an old-looking folder, importing fonts, clipping masks, and drop-shadow effects. My book cover was from the movie "RED" (Retired: Extremely Dangerous), which was actually based on a comic book.
