Penguin Book Covers, creating the covers

 I kept the iconic green colour like Marber did by printing my designs on green paper, I think it maintains the iconic theme of colour expected by penguin customers. The use of black works well when printed onto it as it maintains that dirty, grainy feel which makes them seem a lot older than they are. I decided to flip the Marber grid and display my image first followed by the authors name and book title. I think this makes you look more at the image rather than the text. I added a black continuous line wrapping around the front cover to the spine.

For the back cover I displayed the blurb at the bottom in line with the title and authors name on the front cover. The rest of the page is blank to emphasis this new grid layout.
