Development of front cover
It started off with some typography which I hand-rendered. The style is bold and will hopefully draw attention to the publication.
The simple black and white does actually work quite well as the type has a strong aesthetic. However as the publication focusses on street art is is appropriate to apply some colour.
However to many bright colours looks chaotic and childish. I think though that the parts of the lettering looks good agains the grey background.
Here is an illustration I did that will be part of the front cover design.
The cover will work as a sleeve that the publication will go in once it is folded. To find the right balance with the colour ways, the word Berlin was applied with two tones of blue. As this is the foucus point of the publication it is appropriate that this word is enhanced. By taking the spray effect from the main part of the publication a frame was created on the back of the sleeve, drawing attention to the centre.
Experimenting with layout, the previous spray effect was placed on the top and bottom of both the front and back of the sleeve.
Above is some more typegrophy which I produced and scanned into the computer.
Once it was scanned in, it was opened in Illustrator and put over the grey background.
