The cover and title are inspired by both poster boards around leeds which are layered with posters many of which are ripped and weather worn too creating new imagery, the decision for the cover to remain physical rather than scan in the imagery and making a flat cover came from looking at unique cover designs, with the layered collage as the front cover, each copy will be unique and can be ripped and torn and still have imagery underneath. The title style was inspired by the research into punk zines of the 70's, looking at music culture in general, one iconic piece of art work which inspired the style of the title was The Sex Pistols 'Nevermind the bollocks' album cover.
The book required a small description to simply explain what the content was about, looking back at my aims and objectives one of them was '' produce a publication which looks at the music culture of leeds " so the title 'A look at Culture and music in Leeds through poster art" Felt appropriate and relevant to the content.
The layout does change throughout but a clear pattern emerges as the set up of the book will go page 1 = Full Image 2 = small image + type
this alternates but the larger posters are ones which are vibrant and busy and need a larger space, the book flows well with this layout being used. The type is concealed at the bottom of the pages, this is inspired by the research into poster art and form, the small type is simple descriptions of each image to clearly put across the information which is on the posters, some pages do hold more information, for example
To keep with the collage style from the cover and book title it felt appropriate to hold the name of the author of the book in the back also in a collage style.
