Week commencing 4th of May
I researched book front covers that were action/ thriller books. I did this so that i could see what products were out there. Also so i could find out what is common for action books front covers. This helped give me ideas for my front cover, like what images to put on there.
Week commencing 11th of May
I looked at fonts that i could use for my front cover. The font is one of the key parts of a good front cover. the text needs to be easy to read and stand out. That is why i had to spend time choosing a font. Also i had to shoot my picture for the cover. I took five picture of George. This was to choose which photo looked the best. Each photo had the lighting set up differently, this made eau picture look different.
