Even though I am going to be quite tight on time I am not happy to leave cold blood cover as it was. It can be much stronger on the type front ,and I don't think that the cover I currently have made wanders the brief and WHY am I did I not use print. I know that it is a technique that works well with the way I think and my thought process. I have a strong understanding of how the final image would work and which techniques to use to get the best results. Screen print as well had a lovely aesthetic that differs from digital images and has a the hand aspect to it which for a book like cold blood which is about humans and had a journalistic approach print just suites the genre and themes.
So I have cut out nearly the whole alphabet out of Lino. The reason for doing this is that I really do not like the any of the digital type on photoshop, for features like the title. It feels out of place and I find it little bit lazy, hand created type makes it more personal and has a better quality. You can play around with scale, colour and composition more. it allows for a more interesting and experimental cover.
Even though it took a few hours it was worth it because It works much better then I thought and I can use this type in the further for other projects.
