I originally experimented using a black outlined typography until I placed this onto the composition and realised that the dark outline blended in too much with the ink lines on the front cover.
To over come this, I added a strip of yellow paint across the image to help create a lighter colour in which to place the typography onto. I have continued this yellow paint strip right along the back panel and over into the inside panels to help maintain the style on all 4 faces of the book.
I settled for the colour white for the typography as this looked clean and bright against the yellow paint and the darker shades within the composition of purple and black.
I have opted for almost a handwritten and "scribbled" effect type, nothing too formal looking. I intend the book to be written from the knowledge and point of view of the editor (who works within the beauty industry). Therefore a more personalised typography style, or one which gives the impression that it has been "handwritten" will work best with the genre of my book.
The first example of the typeface looks too bright against the composition. It almost "glows" out against the image which I don't really like. I think that the shadowing of the repeated word perhaps makes this look too much.- The brightness needs toning down.
The second example of the typeface does not stand out enough against the image. I therefore need to find a balance between the brightness of these two examples.
