Unit 3 task 4a

Typography is the art and a technique of arranging type to make it more appealing to people. It includes using typefaces, point size, line length, line-spacing (leading), letter spacing (tracking) and kernng.



This book cover is very simple but interesting at the same time. Instead of a photo, there is just a blue background, white title of the book in the middle of the page and other details in blue at the top and the bottom.
We can see a white shape which looks like a young girl. She is falling and it doesn't look like she is going to land anywhere. You can't see her face or any other details. I think that we can't see her face expressions on purpose so we can't tell if she's scared or happy. They have used it because they don't want us to see the emotions because we could then guess what it is about.
Book cover designer used an eye catching technique. The words 'The girl who fell from the sky' are above the falling girl so when you are reading it, you can almost feel like you are falling together with a girl.



This book cover is also very simple and interesting as well as a little bit mysterious. It's quite colourful and eye catching. When you look at it you can feel lost because you don't know what to look at first.I think there are many interesting details about it.
We can see huge letters saying 'let's get lost Adi Alsaid'. They are big and the two different colours have been used to give the idea that the book is not sad or boring. The background is a map which says 'love, hope and loss' on every step of the journey so you kind of know what it's all about.
I really like this book cover because it's simple but very eye catching and interesting.

 
This book cover is very, very simple and empty. The use of typography on this book cover is not  complicated or interesting but the idea of using something simple can also make sense because some people may look for something different than everything else.
The image is the best part about the whole thing because it works well with the title and it's also kind of ironic and sarcastic. The title says 'privacy' but a person looking at you through the hole, shows that there's really no privacy in here.
