Finalized Book Covers

Blogger really oversaturated the yellows in the full-size previews, but the colors are correct in the thumbnails you see below.  No idea why that happen.

I decided to go with the color burn texture.  The critique for the covers went really well and I think I am satisfied with the end result.

Potshot Book Covers

Still working on those Robert B. Parker book covers, but this and two other covers still under construction are for Illustration Concepts instead of Typography.  I'm playing with texture and filters, and am a little torn which version of Potshot I should turn in.  I could really use some opinions since this is due on Thursday.

Flower Your Spoons

For this week's Hand Letter's assignment, we had to make an entry for Spoonflower's alphabet contest.  The contest required us to create an alphabet and turn it into a pattern that can be printed on fabric.  We could only submit one and I chose the red, orange, and pink version; but I thought to include the other versions in this post since it was a tough decision.

Got MILF?

I just can't let this one book cover go.  Did some more tweaking and I've noticed the more I edit, the hotter the mom gets.  BTW, I want that cocktail dress she's wearing really badly.

Paper Doll Revamp

I wasn't totally satisfied with how the Paper Doll cover turned out, so I spent the day tweaking it and I think it looks a lot better.

Book Covers

Here are the finalized front covers of my Typography class's book cover assignment.  I'll post pictures of them printed out and bounded onto the books by next week.

Hand Letter Mural

This following are a few different colored versions of a hand lettered mural for a restaurant in Hampden called Alchemy.  It was a three week assignment for Hand Letters, but I decided to scrap what I had and spent all day making this, which I'm glad I did.  The restaurant is pretty classy and the owner already has a bunch of framed photos on the adjacent and parallel walls, so to avoid making the room too cluttered, I went with a simple, yet elegant mural.
