Junior Doctors: Time to Scrub up

Graphic Novel and Typography 

I was tasked with creating a front cover for a graphic novel I designed. 

I wanted to keep the colour palettes very bright and vibrant, as this matched the inside pages. 

I enjoyed incorporating both hand rendered typography with preset fonts. 

I loved the challenge of creating an illustration which had to wrap across both the front and back covers. I created a physical mock-up of the book cover where elements of the front and back illustrations were stuck to a slip cover made of tracing paper. This added an element of depth to the design and allowed the typography to stand out, and stopped the cover feeling too busy.
