I decided on the theme of a tall towering building. I chose this because it had the potential to be a very impactful cover and I wanted the image to be very striking. I also thought this option was alot more nice than other symbols of the establishment. From here I started playing around with inputting it into the book cover layout. From my initial ideas I preferred the layouts that were more classic rather than something very typographical. The text all needed to be portrait way up to make it easily visible.
I tried out different colour schemes but I decided that black, red and white worked best for the cover as it was very impactful but also holds a symbolism as it the red signifies danger. It is quite imposing. The red is a warning. Patriotic colours black is a symbol of the establishment the door of downing street. Red sky, dystopian future where things go wrong.
Trying out different typefaces really changed the impact of the design. I chose a serif font as it reminded me of news type and I wanted to portray the media as this is a big part of the book.
