I stumbled across this graphic designer called Jesse Brew through one of the many fixed gear bike blogs that I look at daily and they had this image of his up:
And it dawned on me that I am going to have to come up with some sort of design for the front cover/covers and after the lack of success I had with my last foray into book cover design where by I try to screen print it and something went wrong with the screen so loads of paint went through that I didn't plan on. Luckily it worked with the concept of the book so it didn't look too bad. This time round I am thinking about either digitally printing it onto some sort of fabric/material or using some sort of disperse paper technique using a heat press. I think that both of these options will be quicker and easier for me. Back to the poster I really like using a photograph to produce the fill for the text and I think if I can find the right image to go behind then it could work really well as a front cover.
On a different note Jesse Brew's screen printing work is really good and is bike related so of course I am going to like it. I also really like the Alaska montages might give something like that a go after NYC. Basically I just dig this guys creative style like most of his work and photography bits as well.
