well i'm going to spare everyone from seeing the fifty versions i did before i reached my final. lets just say this was a long, hard and frusturating process, and it doesn't help that the smallest thing being "off" could keep me up all night. i'm a self-confessed nerd. anyway, i really like my concept, and i think for a story on water that this was both a creative and hopefully successful approach. I think the most challenging part of doing the cover besides being involved with the "blunder" discussed in class, was the typography. I knew i wanted a sinple, sans-serif, technical but not computery font--something mathematical--light, vertical and square. it wasn't so much choosing the typography i guess, but finding a good placement for it on the cover. Because my image started at the bottom of the page and ended halfway up, i as left with a lot of graph-paper space to work with and no other backgorund image. I guess that's the part that i don't feel looks 100% right on the cover--i'm not sure how successful i was in melding the background graph paper, the water image and the type into one cover image. oh well. it's over, and now i can sleep again.
