FINAL
The actual final design! I am pleased with what I have put together, I think it would really stand out from the shelves. I did struggle a little with what to do on the back cover, I didn't want it to out do the front cover but didn't want it to be boring. I took the idea from one of my initial front cover designs. I think it works really well with the blurb, as it doesn't over distract. I think it terms of composition, your eye is guided from the milk glass (to draw attention) then follow it down to the writing which I think is successful, as you usually don't pay attention to the writing, but this way guides your eye towards it.
But I think a weakness of this design is that it does include every single predictable symbol that is found on every other clockwork orange book cover which I said I would avoid... I'm not sure if it's because it's extremely hard to avoid it or I just have no imagination, I'm hoping it's not the latter. This has taught me for next time (if there's another book cover brief) to go for the obscure book with no film or much visual material, it is a massive distraction!
