One more Clockwork test


This is getting silly but I did this and thought it looked interesting - Probably not interesting enough to consider entering, but was worth seeing whether I could pull together all the elements I have made for the brief so far.

I watched Chip Kidd's TED talks on book cover design and took note of his comments on 'words and forms' for his Dietrich and Hepburn book covers around 4:20. Really deceptively simple stuff.

This brief has definitely taught me to simplify the work that I make, especially if it's going to go on a book cover. The way I've been trying to make typographic elements work around a pre-made image hasn't been very smart and I'll avoid clinging onto one image so desperately in future.
