Selecting Appropriate Children's book Typeface
During the process of selecting and choosing a suitable typeface for my version of 'The diary of adrian mole aged 13 3/4' book cover. I downloaded a few free children's book typefaces, which looked similar to the existing winner covers on the Penguin website. Below are the names of these free fonts and I will experiment which one will be the best for the book title and the remaining text for the blurb.
Colour choice for the book cover
When deciding a colour scheme for the book, I thought it would be a good to experiment with watercolours than using a simple block solid colours on Photoshop or Illustrator etc. I believe blending and testing with various watercolours will create a creative background for my version of the book cover. My idea, is to create a book cover which is a diary, hence part of the name of the book title. By using watercolour, it gives an affect of the diary being used as the protagonist of the book 'Adrian' uses this book to tell his story. This is why the cover will be worn and rough looking. Below are some scans of the colour testing and the watercolour pencil which was used to create this worn out cover affect.
