Details- Graphic Design III
John DuFresne
Spring 2022

Overview- For this project, the objective was to design an interesting set of three book jackets for book titles of our choosing. We had the opportunity to help reflect our personal interests and passions through the design. The jacket needed to have a cover, spine, back, and inside flaps, incorporating titles, imagery, summary, and information about the author. 

Design Thinking- I decided to pick 3 books on self-love and healing. I picked a flower that related to each book and designed an outline of those flowers to be used on the front cover. I also picked a different color for each book jacket cover that related to the meaning of the book. I used a san serif font to keep my design clean. 

Challenges- One challenge was making sure that I had all of the proper elements like a publisher logo, barcode, copyright information, author information, and the price like book jackets we see in stores have.

New Lessons- I learned how to create a system and apply that system to the other book jackets. This was visually pleasing because the books were not a series but in the end they looked like they were.
