Last Chance

Hi there! I was just playing around with some features on Illustrator. I found the textures pallate. Man I love it! It really has a way of lending some interest to the backgrounds without going all crazy.I don't really have an idea about what this is about, but it was fun to do.

Do you think the text looks odd? I do too, but II copied it from (yet another) old book jacket i saw somewhere.

70s style book graphics

So, this is an obvious rip-off of the "What is the What" book cover (David Foster Wallace). Great book. But that cover is a rip-off of certain afro-american books like "The Mis-education of the Negro" by W.E.B. DuBois, and well, if you haunt used book shops, you know this style of book design. I love, love, love that style- it's "modern" without being cutsie. I didn't do it enough justice but you get the idea.

I think book covers are brilliant: they have the zietgiest thing, but in a wierd way they tend to push fine-art limits... much the way album covers do, knowwhudimean?
