visual narratives: front cover conundrums


white looks a bit boring but I will be stitching the book together with a thick, brightly coloured thread which should counteract this.



more colourful but looks a bit flat. concerned some of the detail gets lost.


a cover without a title. considering whether it really needs a title for the front.

finally I think I prefer the title in the top right. it doesn't interrupt the pattern so much and coincidentally feels small and quiet. Again I am hoping that the coloured thread will add a more eyecatching element. I am thinking of using a yellow to match the other yellows in my book.

I've realised that this stitching will show up and go through the middle spread illustration! There are no important elements in the middle of this image so it shouldn't interrupt it too much. I will probably let the thread hang on the outside, as a decorative element and also not to spoil the inner image as much as possible!
