Book Covers

The colors look good and very you and boxtu:) These are tiny details, but I noticed some alignment issues with the word "ORCHESTRATION" and the author's name. I would just make sure you don't have letters running into your black lines. Also, did you try the copy on the back with upper and lowercase?

Watch out for that shade of purple with the black text on it. The readability might become an issue... Have you tried white yet?

Check out what it looks like if you run the text into the bold black lines on the spine of the books. Could be cool. But if you do this, repeat it at least one more time on the books... (cover).

I can't read Rogers on the spine. Sometimes it's all right if kept all white.

I agree with Stephanie... I like the colors you used...I might give the type on the cover that goes downward a little more breathing room. They are very tightly boxed in right now.

I like how you changed up the colors. I see what you're trying to do with the copy on the back, lining it up with other lines on the page but I think it looks a little awkward in a few of them.

the colors are great! i'm having some problems with the type on the back though. try to make it look a little more composed. i only say this because everything else on your books is so neat and structured.

I like these colors better than what you had last class. The peachy color seemed off. Aaaanyway, I would mess with the titles and the black bars, because they either need to run into the bars or stay away. Right now they're in No Man's Land. :) And since everything else is so structured, I would try to justify the back text. Lovely.

I agree with Amber. The vertical words need little more breathing space. These colors are fun!

Continue to work on the type choice and composition. Maybe the type could even be bolder and more rhythmic like the composition? Or perhaps it could be smaller and embedded within the composition. As others mentioned, the use of white could help.
