Working on the idea of this being a matchbox, I sketched up a vintage matchbox cover. All of the ones I found in my research have some kind of motif on them, so I played around with different motifs from the book in my sketchbook for a while - socks, Pandora, horse, Adrian himself.
I'm concerned that it will look as though I'm promoting smoking/arson??
Enjoying the colour combo but maybe the red is a little on the pink side! Tried simple red socks but too boring, prefer patterned.
I just don't know. It'll look better when it's got matches behind it but I just think that this brief makes it SO OBVIOUS that I know nothing about Graphic design and I think you can probably tell from this naff book cover that I took it too seriously and that I'm not totally into the book. It was funny but it didn't INSPIRE me. It was so mundane and just like real life... who wants to read about that?
I can't sell something I don't buy myself!
