Above is my final cover for the penguin brief ‘Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit’. I have made sure that the authors name and the title are both immediately recognisable to the target market and as such are crucial elements in the design, by making the typographic elements centred it draws in attention. I have drawn themes from the book such as coming of age, homosexuality and sex. Thus the concept behind the simple vector illustrations of the orange segments could possibly resemble the female vaginal anatomy. I used Baskerville as my font choice as I like its crisp edges, high contrast and generous proportions and it also contrasts with the simple illustrations. Overall, I am really happy with how the project has gone, I like the contemporary look to the book cover and I think it would appeal to the target audience. I would like to revisit book design in the future as I have really enjoyed the project studing the themes and characters as well as this I love reading.
