Using Photoshop, a little bit of
Illustrator, and Flash, I created this image. I imported my hand drawn sketch
and worked in layers to create this final image. My goals were to create a
female heroic image mixed with advanced technology. I made the title
animated because I am thinking about the future and how book covers may be
digital one day. My idea is a cross between the digital photo frames that are
presently out, and Harry Potter's idea of the animated newspapers and
posters.
I never like to do backgrounds for my pieces. I just don't have that type of talent. I kept the background simple.
Typography is not my strongest, but I like the chosen font. It is strong and fantasy like. I chose the traditional position of the title at the top and the author name at the bottom. I purposely made the 'authors' name a non focal point because I did not want to come across as an 'author'. If this were a clients book I was designing the author's name would stand out and be bigger. The color choice could have been different, I see that now.
