I have sorted out my photos of caladiums and played around with them in Photoshop. They are printed out two to a page and stuck together with sellotape for this mockup. Then the upper part of the leaf is cut out.
Left is a view straight on of Page 1 which is not the cover. This was printed on ordinary 80gsm copier paper on the Colour Laserjet just to see if there was any mileage in the idea. The back of what you see is blank at the moment but would be paintings and text.
The covers would be board and the paper would be Bockingford printed on the Inkjet printer. The major artistic doubt is the background colour. I got rid of all distracting backgrounds and made them plain grey. I am not sure about this, neither the colour nor the plain-ness. I wonder if it needs a textured background. Experiments are called for. I wonder if photos of Florida are needed
I really like these. Reminds me of our trip to Florida
ReplyDeleteI'm constantly amazed by your design ideas. How lovely to see the pattern in your arrangement of the leaves and the patterns in the leaves.
