I chose to re-design a Nicholas Sparks book cover for this project. This is a book I recently read and enjoyed and already had a few ideas regarding redesigning the cover.
I chose to change the the type font back to Nicholas Sparks old font that was used on previous book cover designs to a bold serif font. I decided to still use a sans serif for the title to keep the cover design more modern, my thought process on this was having the authors font display a more traditional font since he has been writing books for a long time, but having the title reflect modern times. Creative efforts I used in this project was choosing to bevel the script font in the type to make the word wish stand out more. I also had to remove the background from the dandelion image I downloaded from a stock website, so as you can see I still need to work on my "select/ mask" features so I can get a much more sharp image, I lost detail the larger stem. I also decided to give the dandelion a shadow appearance, I thought this just have the cover a more dimensional appearance so the cover would not look so flat.
