As part of the 2 week graphics workshop we had the task of researching a particular subject from football to Illustration and then had to make a book cover with the InDesign program. I wanted to go something simple and perhaps a little unexpected when someone thinks about illustrtion. It would have been easy to draw an illustration and smack it down on the front cover. But I felt the idea that a black square could convey a message and emotion just as powerful as an illustration when used in the right context was a more interesting interpretation.

I found a quote and that became my blurb which again conveyed a powerful but uncomplicated expression of my particular subject choice. I found the project interesting and made me understand the importance of making something simple to create an equally or even stronger message than the most of obvious choice.
