Book Cover Design (Part 1)

Recently, I read a biography on Keith Moon, the drummer from the rock band The Who.

My designs reflect Tony Fletcher's biography Moon.



In my first sketch, I would incorporate a collage of photographs of Keith Moon surrounding the title of the biography, Moon. The arrow on the "n" reflects The Who's logo, which the "o" in "who" has the same arrow. This is Tony Fletcher's design on his biography. I included The Who's logo below. 















On the spine, I will use the same typography that is shown on the front cover. The back cover of my design would include a textbox of my description of the biography, and The Who's other logo, a blue, red, and white target. The target is also shown above.





















In my second sketch, the front cover will have the night sky and stars as the background. In the upper right corner is a bass drum that is reminiscent of a moon, there will be a crescent formation on the right side. The moon/bass drum will have The Who's logo inside of it. Below, I have included the title of the biography near the bottom of the cover. 


In the spine and back, I will continue with the night sky and star background. The description of the book will be placed in the middle. 






















In my final sketch, I incorporated a picture of Keith Moon playing his drum kit. The title of the biography is in a curve direction above The Who's logo, a target. 


The spine will be of the same typography of the title design. On the back, there will be a picture of Keith Moon and the rest of The Who's band members, below will be my description of the biography. There will be a second picture below the description, just of Keith Moon.
