To expand our knowledge of book covers and gain inspiration for our own we were told to recreate 12 book covers. I firstly sketched out the book covers and went over them in fine liner so that they would be good clear images when I scanned them in to edit in Photoshop.
I then transferred the images into Photoshop and removed all the white so I was left with the black outlines of the book covers. I did this by altering the levels to pure black and white and using the magic wand tool to remove the excess white.
I then began to colour the scamps using the fill tool and looking at the book covers I was recreating so to get the colours right. Here is a few screenshots of my work in progress, up close in Photoshop.
These are my final pieces of the book cover recreations. overall i was happy with the results as they were vibrant and represented the books very well. It also increased my knowledge of the elements needed on a book cover, gave me inspiration for a theme and developed my Photoshop skills.
