Retro Book Cover idea - The Dark Tower

Reworking a book cover in Typography. I liked the idea of doing a retro cover. This image is just from me messing around in illustrator, but I like where it's going.

Lyric Design FINAL

Final image for the project! I changed a few things around, mostly arranging the text a little nicer, evening out spaces and centering lines a little more. Also changed the image of the kid in the water to make it a little more detailed.
Zoom in on the top half. Main differences here are that I enlarged the big 'oh doubters' to take up almost all the page, as well as made the italics lines uniformly sized. I like how it turned out.
Bottom half. This was the hard part. Getting all that black to look the same is a chore. It's still not perfect, but all my sharpies are dead, sooo yeah. When I try to go over areas I inked in previously, I get a glossy black texture that I can never cover up. Not sure on the science behind sharpies, but it sure is a pain! 


Also, here's a link to the song this project is from!

Printmaking Project - Etchings

Made this etching off of a picture I took in China a few years ago. Its not my best print, but I like how it turned out.

Here's a self portrait. Again, not my best work, but I still like it. Forgot that when you print, the final image is a reflection of the first, hence the backwards text!

New Typography Project - Lyric Design

With this project we chose any lyric from any song and put it in an interesting design. I tried to convey some of the feel of the song in the layout, typeface, and image, and I like the outcome. This is the finished rough composition, and the finished final should be done by this weekend. Hopefully I can get all that black to look black.
