My Entry: Graphic Design Contest

I wish I could talk about the last book I read, but the truth is that I haven't read for a long time, I always think about wanting to do it, but I haven't been motivated, I get distracted by other things, the day goes by, time passes, and nothing, I even joined a book club through Telegram.

However, what I have liked most in recent months, is to create, design a little, and although it is not something I do consistently, from time to time, I get to see what I get, that's why, when I saw this publication, to create a new image to this community, I said why not, I'll try, and so, maybe I encourage me a little to resume reading.

It was a long process, I did not know where to start, I wanted to play a little with the initials of the community HBC, after so much testing, I decided to make this gradient effect with one of the proposed colors, the Saffron, the fonts, well, I based mostly on that type of modern and simple letters.

Once this was done, I did not know how to place it, I thought many ideas regarding the shape of the book, between open or closed, but in the end I took this one, closed, placing the letters as the cover of the book, with some astethic decorative lines, combined with another color, the Classic Blue.

On the other hand, I also wanted to play with the other colors, since the image itself lends itself to different combinations, it would be up to your taste, but for me, I liked the first one the best, I don't know what you say.

As my favorite was the first one, I based on this color to make both the divider and the banner; another detail that I also took into account to make, is that when I think of books, I like those stories that are based on the medieval times, the old, so I based on it for the design of the same, with this color combination.

I worked with Photoshop for the design of the initials, the rest was handled with Canva.

This is all, I hope you like it, I am at your service, for any adjustment to the design, a pleasure to have participated, and I also hope to activate me to read a good book, I accept suggestions.
