This picture was in the Graphic Design Annual 2007. What caught my attention was the cover of the book was the top view of a tree that got cut. The placement of the title in the lower right hand corner i thought was a good idea with the logo in the middle. I wouldn't of thought of this was for mountain biking, i would of thought this would be more about trees then anything. But i guess stump jumping is something mountain bikers do???? I'm not really sure. But with the natural color of the tree with the white lettering and silver plate i think it goes very well together. The cover is not to crowded and is well balanced in my opinion.
HEY! I was going to choose this one for this class! Nah j/k I think its a great one too. It really doesnt seem like a mountain biking thing tho does it?
ReplyDeleteThis is a really cool book cover. It definitely has "Rugged" written all over it. That silver plate with the title on it gives it kind of an "Eddie Bauer" type of style.
ReplyDeleteNot that I'm an Eddie Bauer fan. But some people believe that it makes them more masculine to drive, wear, and sport the Eddie Bauer gear. Of course that in itself was obviously a great marketing plan because people bought into it.
