Book cover developments

From the critique that the book covers are coherent with the illustrations and the use of the colours expresses the books well, little details were experimented and changed with before ending up with the final covers. With the critique that for the cover 'Hygge' the spine should feature the Scandinavia folk pattern flowers instead of the book and teacup, the spine was changed to which created an interesting design feature of which would show the covers coherence when seen on a book shelf. Also, with the critique that perhaps the title isn't appearing to the eye, the colour was changed to be filled in black, however this didn't work with the aesthetic of the covers with it being too harsh. The blurbs of the back covers were changed to make sure the text was the same, with all using Helvetica, following the format of the existing covers. A grid was used as with feedback it was said that the illustrations aren't in the same place, so a grid was used to make sure the layout was the same with the illustrations, barcode and authors name. With feedback that they weren't sure about the flowers on the cover, the covers were experimented with taking away the flowers and just keeping them on the spine, however it was decided that they add to the design, making it more interesting.
