By this I created and tested multiple designs for the Adrian Mole book cover design.
Below are some examples of book covers that I have created and finished ones. Below are the examples of the book cover designs.
The reason of the silhouette of a young boy is for the children to imagine what they believe Adrain Mole would appear like when they read the book and imagine is features. This is an inspiration from Noma Bar's style who designed the book cover of Haruki Murakami. Then combined it with Andrew Bannecker's colour art style i.e. the colourful background, typefaces and illustrative style.
Below are two mock designs for the Adrian Mole book. One is red and the other is white. For the red design cover, I wanted the book to depict the diary which belonged to Adrian Mole. As Adrain Mole has many diarys which he documents his life, I gave the diary more of a flushed appearance (worn out/well used). Then I have added some British symbols on the book designs such as: the pounds and pence, the UK land, UK flag, cup of tea and as the book is set in the Margret Thatcher era, I added the shovel and pipe axe to symbolise the miners. Then also included some stickers, sweets and pencil to make an image that Adrian Mole is a child in education.
For the second mock design, I made a more lighted and softer cover. As the other design has a more stronger presence for the target audience to see. With this design, I kept with a white themed, as I wanted the colourful typeface and the silhouette to stand out for the children to see. For the border of the cover, I have used various amount of school equipment as Adrian Mole is in education, the back has a book (indicating his diary for the blurb) and finally the spine is a pen which connects the ink to the book and visit versa.
