3D christmas cards.


Paperchase Birthday cards.




Paperchase christmas cards.

These are really lovely as the above designs are paper cut outs as an illustration, maybe I could use this technique within my designs and then I can use the new toy in the print room!!!

Boarders.

Now this is a faber and faber book, I found it quite easy to pick them out from the rest of the books on the shelf as each book has the logo in the same place on the spine/front cover and back. This is something I need to consider when adding the logo to my designs!!!



Penguin book:
This book cover is a real eye catcher on the shelf which is one of the reasons that I took a photo of it in the first place. Its the limited use of colour that works really well and creates a really effective piece of impact design.
Also another thing to point out is the use of a spot varnish used to highlight the title of the book and the rest of the book is matte. I'm thinking of maybe using this within my designs?!?!

Faber and Faber book layout.

In every faber&faber book the layout on the back of the book is of a similar format as seen below:


And also the faber and faber logo appears three times on the cover as a whole. Once on the front cover in the bottom right hand corner, one directly on the bottom of the spine and again on the back in the bottom left hand corner. I need to take this in to consideration when designing my book covers.
