Research-front cover design

As the imagery is to be the key focus of the front cover (similar to how it is the key focus of the content), research was undergone into front cover in which promote imagery. 

This type and image combination highlights the relevant imagery. The contrast of colour, makes the imagery appear less important than the type, a factor in which would not promote Erin's photography within my design. 

The above design uses a sleeve in order to promote the text. This leaves the publication itself having a full page of imagery, undisturbed by any text. Although this would work well with my design, the sleeve may be disregarded, leaving the publication without a name. This also makes the design appear confined and trapped, this, in turn, going against the context. 

Although not being the key focus of the above design, the imagery used works effectively with the type. Vast white space has been used in order to promote the effectiveness of the imagery. 

Overlapping type has been used in order to embed the type and imagery coincide well together. This also adds recent design trends towards the pieces.
