The steps of cover design mainly include the following four aspects:
1. Idea: design the cover, spine and back cover (front, side and bottom) of books in a unified way.
2. Composition and layout: When composing a composition, we should seriously consider the primary and secondary, density, virtual and real relationship of words, as well as the handling of font, size and color of words.
3. Draw the precise outline of words and patterns.
4. Coloring: The color should be saturated, uniform and clean.
Design concept:
1. Plain text arrangement.
Using words as cover elements can directly express the theme of the whole book. Fonts are usually redesigned and displayed in unique images. This method is suitable for cover design in various industries.
2. Text+picture arrangement.
Insert photos that match the content or brand tonality in the cover to highlight the theme. This can not only convey the propaganda information quickly, but also achieve a strong visual effect.
3. Text+graphic arrangement.
Adding graphic design to the cover can enhance the artistic sense and formal sense of the picture. For example, some topics can't convey concepts with specific charts, so you can design abstract graphics to express them.
4. Text+illustration arrangement.
The form of illustration can be understood as hand-drawn graphic illustration. The advantage lies in rich imagination and free creativity.
5. Text+color block arrangement.
When the picture is empty or monotonous and increases without adding other materials, the colored area is a way to spend the least time to improve the layout rate, thus increasing the richness of the picture.
