Penguin Book Cover Analysis- Task 2
- The black and white imagery compliments the book as it has a very chilling storyline that is a true story.
- The kerning in the typography is very tight.
- Use of a san serif typeface.
- A collage of different photographs relating to different parts of the story allows the reader to get a small idea of what the book is about.
- The typography doesn't could stand out more against the background as it blends in a little. The writing at the bottom of the cover is completely lost within the background.
- The cover follows the classic penguin book cover style by using the marber grid format.
- Use of block colour and simple shapes for imagery.
- The imagery uses the obvious parts of the storyline to create the cover.
- The imagery looks almost like a silhouette.
- The typography is classic penguin style, use of a san serif typeface with fairly tight kerning.
- Typography based cover.
- Block capitals are used throughout the cover and fairly close kerning.
- The is no imagery on the cover or anything that gives much away about the storyline of the book.
- The design makes the cover look old and cracked, personally I think that it looks like its written on something like wooden fencing.
