OUIL503- In Cold Blood Cover- Cover 3 Initial Ideas

For my final cover design, I wanted to focus much more on the concept behind the image. Father than using general imagery of murders and detective stories, I decided to create a cover based directly on a part of the scene or content of the story.

I researched a lot of things about the crime scene; the type of cameras the CSI would have used, the murder weapon, the type of clothing they would have been wearing and trued to work that into a working book cover.

I liked the idea of using a footprint or fingerprint, as I think it immediately suggests the idea of a crime and more importantly a crime that is being investigated, which fits in perfectly with the content of the book.

I will continue to research and develop my ideas.
