Course Project: Design a Book Cover with an emphasis on Balance

Your task is to pick a book that you have read and liked and design a unique cover for it utilising everything you have learnt in this course. Here are a couple of clever compositions for inspiration where visual weight and balance plays a crucial role:

To help you come up with interesting compositions it is recommended to start by creating a couple of thumbnail sketches.
Feel free to also incorporate other principles we covered in this course to further enhance your composition's impact.
Share your final book cover design
Optional: share your initial sketches

Good luck and have fun practicing everything you learnt from this course! Don't forget to follow me if you want to be notified when I am releasing new courses.
