2 Week Project

 

Brief: Create a book cover for the short stories of Marcus Bastel with the penguin requirements. 

 

The main genre of the stories is thrillers. I decided to try and create a a sense of unknown with the typography. I wanted to create the same type of ambiance as the stories create, so I decided to play around with shadows. I used different strengths of light to shine through the stencil. I also tried different distances from the stencil to see what that created. I found that the strong light but from a far distance created 3 different shades of shadows and therefore the desired outcome and ambience.
