This is a book cover that I designed for the book Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. I went back and made a couple changes in order to make the text pop out more. For example, I added a slight drop shadow to all of the text and increased the saturation of the text color. (There is more information after the sketches.)
As you can see, I went through a few different ideas when designing this book cover. Eventually, I decided on the horizontally mirrored version as my starting point and it evolved into my final design.
