Hello Everyone

Here is a new blog I shall be starting as a progress-tracker and a research/thought dump for my last 6 week FdA project. The project brief is:

The Fantasy, and Science Fiction, genre of books has suffered from long-term ghettoisation in the book market and reading environments such as the class rooms and libraries. This is in part due to the clichés of cover design that have persisted, with some mutation, throughout the history of the genre- making it (unfairly) appear specialist, juvenile, repetitive and unappealing.

Devise book covers based primarily on graphic and typographic elements that change the image of fantasy and/or science fiction books, beginning with classic and established texts of the genres.


Hope you find it interesting.

Stay lucky!
