Typographic Experaments

It was time to play around with text… and this was the result! The text used was from a poem/lyrics by Ian Curtis. 

STILL

When you're looking at life,

In a strange new room,

Maybe drowning soon,

Is this the start of it all?,

Turn on your TV,

Turn down your pulse,

Turn away from it all,

It's all getting too much.

When you're looking at life,

Deciphering scars,

Just who fooled who,

Sit still in their cars,

The lights look bright,

When you reach outside,

Time for one last ride,

Before the end of it all.

Book Cover

Hello!

This is a book cover I designed for the Penguin Design Awards. 

It is mainly put together on Adobe Photoshop from scanned ink paintings and text cut outs. Sounds simple no? Well in theory it was, but being the perfectionist I am, I diddled with it for at least a week. (Moving a letter one pixel to the left and a building 5 pixels down…and back again...etc..etc)

Being the second book cover I have ever created I am quite proud of it.

I also highly recommend the book!
