Starting Design

Hello again, so since my last post I have brought my work into photoshop to design a set image for the book jacket. I feel the imagery should come first then the design. I made several attempts at overlaying the image and distorting it. I have gone for a darker feel to the imagery as I feel that the goth influence and the word "Haunting " are the items that stood out to me. The imagery itself displays faces interwined it is the same face however and relays the message that we are all the same a "unity". this idea of unity steams from the novel and how Oliver Sacks states that music and life goes hand in hand. Music is life and life is music. Coplete unity.

There is a blue tint to the piece due to a neon glow i put on it to highlight the centre pieces however i have removed this to a more basic colour.

As we look into the image the faces are stark emotionless...Representing a deep hidden silence that we can relate to. A hole that can only be filled by music. I will post my updated image of music flowing through the piece next time. I did start with this image however trying to turn the image into a scan like a pregnancy scan but dropped it.

I may try something with it at a later stage.
