I decided to change the front cover around a bit and wanted a stamp like affect to show what book it was. Below are a few of my experiments with the composition of the stamp.
I experimented with placing it in the bottom corner however this looks too squished and throws the piece of balance.
I quite liked the idea of it slightly overlapping the letter as it is above with the N this makes it feel more like an actual stamp.
This suddenly leaves a huge white gap open and doesn't look overly great.
Here it looks like the book has been stamped in a rush, this is potentially a style I will look at.
I decided that the sentence in the middle part was too long so I have shortened the line length and increased the leading so that it is easier to read.
In the previous ones it has only been the type which has had a worn stamp aesthetic, I decided that I needed to create the same for my circle.
Here it fits in a lot better. It takes the space whilst still working well in the grid and the blurb is easier to read. I am unsure on whether to have it straight or at an angle. The straight one looks a lot neater, however the book would have been mass produced and quickly stamped, so maybe having it at an angle highlights the mass production.
