At the start of the work shop we were given a list of topics that we can use to associate our research and to produce a book cover using the information that we found. One of the topic was motion graphics which I picked because I am interested in the subject and I want to do it as a degree. Our group was sent to the Study Zone which for a making a book cover and finding resource on my research was a very good place. Which lead me to a great found of a book about motion graphics called The History of Motion Graphics written by Michael Betancourt. This book talked about how the motion graphics era started, using sound and pictures in association and example of artist that inspired the motion graphics movement for example Kandinsky, Auguste Herbin, Andre L'Hote, Leon Zernitsky, Olga Rozanova and Lena Karpinsky.
After doing my research on motion graphics I then looked up some examples of book cover on google images. I picked some of the ones that I think were good or give me some ideas on how I want my book cover to looked like
I then came across a book cover like this, which have continuous design from front to back and I was inspired to do the same on mine
It is a book cover but at the same time it looked like an artwork which most of book cover are anyway however I just felt like this is a different way of connecting the dots.
I also looked upon covers that have quite similarities with the topic that I am using and I found this at the front the book cover used the basic colour scheme use in printing and I want to associate that with the cover of my Motion Graphics book.
This is the final product. I wanted to used the CMYK which stand for the different colour in printing. I started with black to show the history which is the main focus of my research at the moment but however if given the chance I can also do a second book changing the word in the middle from black to cyan. I have chosen black and white so because I want people to focus on the CMYK colour.
