Insights
Research had been carried out into the poets personal backgrounds and their four poems; this was to find a common theme that could be used to influence the design of the book covers.
Designers such as Noma Bar, gray318, Richard Emil Braun and Rudolph de Harak had been studied to understand the various styles incorporated into books such as: minimalism, photography and typography.
Later, Russian Constructivism had been researched due to its similarity in style to my outcomes and its extensive focus on abstract work and collage.
