Final Piece

I decided to use this draft for my first final piece because I thought it was the most effective and quite poetic.

After drawing out my deign on the lino, I start to cut it out using the lino cutters.

After cutting the lino out for the front and back, I painted it in ink and printed the design.

I scanned my prints into photoshop and adjusted the threshold so the scans were purely black and white. I made a book sleeve template in Photoshop and started to place the images in the correct place.

 I then altered the colour of my image to blue as I felt that it fitted best with the mood I wanted to create in my design as blue is often linked with sadness.

I started to add text to my design such as the title. I added white boxes to put behind the text for ease of reading.

I added boxes and text to the spine, front back and flaps.

I rubbed out the edges of my boxes to create the illusion that I had cut them out with linocutters.

I added all the information needed such as barcodes and prices.

Here is my final piece completed.
