Graphic designs

Today I have created a Book cover.  This book cover was from the pattern tiles. Book cover was from digital canvas print. But I hope to see my own publication one day. 

Graphic designs is for someone who thinks and thinks more often everyday and every minute. You see something beautiful in that image or a product and you get some vibe telling you to draw.

The purpose of a book cover is also a frame around the text and a bridge between text and world. It is a bridge between the author and the reader. The best part is the front, spine and back layouts. 
A book cover design has two main components, typography and visuals. The typography helps to create an engaging title and subtitle for the reader. 

What Are The Basic Parts Of A Book Cover?
The constituent parts of a book cover include the front, spine and back layouts. A book cover layout can stretch across the front, spine and back of the book. Each of these parts contain specific design elements. For example, design elements on the front of the book may include the title, sub-title, imagery and author’s name.

What Should The Constituent Parts Of A Book Cover Include?
Here are the 6 elements which constitute the overall parts of a book cover:
Book Cover: Title, subtitle, background imagery and author’s name.
Front Matter: Table of contents, copyright notice and preface or dedication.
Body: Core of the work which includes pagination and chapters.
Back Matter: Epilogue, appendix and author’s biography.
Spine: Features your title, author’s name and publishing company logo.
Back Cover: Description of the story, reviews, ISBN number and barcode.

But we are only concerned with the basics and that is to learn visual and typography.

Front cover only

As much as people say “Don’t judge a book by its cover” it is human nature. You need something that is going to drive the attention of a customer and want them to hang on to your book. 

Now this is very much a wonderful idea because this image was Watercolor painted by me and then made it digitally portrait into a Greeting cards. Then I was thinking about a blog. And there you go I immediately started a wonderful storyline. "One day a rosy morning....." . So that it is what more can I bargain. 

This one was created by me when I was writing my Skillshare project. And don't ask me Why didn't I write a beautiful story. Ofcourse yes, I will. But, that image I will have to draw and write. 

Fiction book 
Rosy morning tea
In the tranquil embrace of a rosy morning, as the sun peeked over the horizon, casting a warm glow upon the world, a solitary figure sat on the porch of a quaint cottage. Netra, a young woman with a heart filled with longing, sipped her tea, its delicate aroma mingling with the gentle breeze.

The steam from her cup curled upwards like a wisp of smoke, carrying with it the promise of a new day. As Netra gazed out at the garden, her thoughts drifted to distant lands and the adventures that awaited her. The vibrant colors of the blooming flowers seemed to echo her own yearning for something more.

With each sip of tea, Netra felt a surge of inspiration. The warmth of the liquid spread through her veins, igniting a fire within her soul. She longed to break free from the confines of her small town and explore the unknown.

As the sun rose higher in the sky, casting golden rays upon the dew-kissed grass, Netra made a decision. She would not be content to live a life of quiet routine. She would venture beyond the familiar and embrace the adventures that life had to offer.

With newfound determination, she finished her tea and stood up. The rosy morning light seemed to illuminate her path, guiding her towards a future filled with endless possibilities. As she stepped off the porch, Netra couldn't help but smile. The simple act of having a cup of tea in the morning had ignited a spark within her, a spark that would lead her on an extraordinary journey.

The story ends here.

Now, what do you think of this amazing story. It is so fabulous that I don't have to think of work, but, just a mental and physical break I will have to get back to my regular chores. That is all from me for now.

Thank you for your time, support and visiting my ipage blog. 

Cheers,
Gcb studios
