concept #1a

This background has a calm and tranquil feeling. However, the color palette is predominantly blue and red and doesn't allow for much variation with other colors.

The books stand out well on the light blue background.

 

 

concept #1b

poster design 1

comp 1b

Traditional autumn colors with a more graphic treatment of leaves and vines.

The file format of this background offers the ability to move elements of the design around to accommodate books and type.

The books stand out well against the light background.

 

concept #1c

This background is the side of a weathered barn and is not a fall theme but the earth tones are reminiscent of fall colors and this design offers a less typical solution.

The covers stand out well against the dark background.
