Idea development

Dracula development

- Added background texture. Jagged. Ripped. Gives impression of night and conflict.

- Moon changed to white - more complimentary to the rest of the image.

- How the front cover will look with the image behind.
- Monster intimidating, overshadowing victim with cross.

- Behind front cover.
- Gothic scene.
- Able to see cross and part of the hand.
- Silhouettes - not overwhelming in detail - doesn't take away from the front cover.

  - Wrinkles and creases removed using Photoshop. Much neater. Edges of gravestones sharpened.

- Quote on back cover. Bold. Grabs attention.
- Monochrome colour scheme (to go with gothic, light vs. dark theme of the book) with a pop of dark red colour (blood).
- Modern typeography to attract a new audience to the reader, though with a hint of the traditional, with the ink-like typeface.
- Spine is simplistic, clean. Imagery of the moon carried on here.

- Blurb inside the cover.
- Moon theme carried over.
- "Supernova" typography again included.
- Blurb written in Baskerville Old type - traditional, gothic.

- Development. Neater, fuller crescent moon.
- Text - squatter. More compact. Gives the appearance of taking up more of the space.

- Typeface changed. I felt that this script, ink-like font worked better for the Dracula narrative. It replicates someone taking up a diary to write.

The Hound of the Baskervilles development

- To go behind front page.
- Textured hound - adds more depth, interest to illustration.
- "Clues" to go alongside image of hound - footsteps, pawprints, butterflies. These link to the content of the story.
- Hound appears sinister, lurking behind the page.

- Magnifying glasses on front page.
- Similar theme as the Dracula book - consistency, to show it's part of the same redesign.
- Yellow - stands out against the grey.
- Magnifying glass (and clue pawprint) carried onto the spine. 

- Magnifying glasses cut out. Able to see parts of the hound illustration beneath. Element of under covering clues - links to story.
