In this week’s photo book cover design, I wanted to create a simple cover with color. I’m playing with the blue on my son’s life jacket to create a light blue color with a deeper blue color at the top and bottom edge. To make the photo stand out a little bit more, I put a white border around it.
Using a creative,handwriting style font adds to the fun of the photo and can give a sense of the book.
If you wanted to adapt this style for your photo book, you could use a family photo or a photo that encapsulates a major even to your year. Pull complimentary colors from the photo to design the background and color for the font. If the color is too strong, you can always adjust the saturation and tint.
