OUGD504 Studio Brief 3 - Front Cover Designs
As from the research undertaken of antique books, it was then decided to produce a cover design in the unique style of English Victorian ornamented letter design. Calligraphic traditions were also tapped for more eccentric forms; decorating the surface of letters with striped and arabesque patterns was both common and popular. Therefore different Victorian and arabesque patterns were found in order to create the front cover. Using the 'P' on its own to represent Portobello will work a lot better with the flourishes and orientation, rather than overworking the front cover. It was also decided to include an ornamental border as this was common within book cover design.
