Final Design for The Shining

Here it is! Fresh imagery and a different approach to what I was going for. For this I did a drawing of the door at a scewed angle. I put this through photoshop and enhanced the colours to make them more striking. I also wanted to include redrum and did so on the back cover. I've chosen a typewriter font which is suited very well if you know the story. I'm glad this is done beause this is the one I had the most anxiety about.

The Shining book cover progress

Putting a lot of emphasis on 217 here because for anyone who hasn't read the book it doesn't give anything away and it sparks curiosity. The twins are also an eye catching image as we often find ourselves doing a double take at twins in the street to figure out if were seeing things or not. But anyway, I jotted these down with no facial features and I actually quite like the uncertain feeling it gives.
