The solution is in the problem.

After these 3 weeks of ranking my love for visual communications has grown. I have enjoyed every part of designing, drawing and making my ideas for this project. Researching other artist and designers work has been a interesting and a big help, seeing the range of materials used and the different scales of the work. Its not all about 2D and using the computer! Although, I have spent a fair bit of time on photoshop.

A few ideas for the book cover:

 I changed the type and made it smaller.

I took the collar out as I didnt think it needed it, the message of Church V Chocolate was portrayed by the chocolate cross on its own.

This is my final book cover design:

I changed the black background to a leatherette background to make it look more religious and I changed the size of the font.

A bit of typography and advertising.

One of the best April fools day jokes.

Back in the hazy, distant days of 1977, the annual japery of April Fool's Day was far from a fixture in the UK's newspapers. But then The Guardian ran a seven-page feature on the remote island nation of San Serriffe, in the Indian Ocean – complete with descriptions of its two main islands, Upper Caisse and Lower Caisse, its capital Bodoni, and its ruler, General Pica. Of course, it was all an elaborate joke, with most of the names being punning references to typographer's terminology. But huge numbers of people fell for it – aided perhaps by the fact that the paper roped in many legitimate advertisers, including Guinness and Kodak, to play along with the gag. The Guardian's office switchboard was flooded with phonecalls from gullible people wanting more information on the fictitious islands.The San Serriffe joke is notable not only for sparking the British press's fondness for April 1 tomfoolery, but also for being the most sustained untruth ever printed by the Guardian that wasn't the result of a spelling error.
