APPLICATE : page layout concepts, Font?



I loosely based the page colour and composition on the back of a Monster Colours tin, bare in mind these are early concepts, just using the same theme as the back of a specific spray can, (the author's Preferred aerosol projectile unit) it might be worth experimenting with other spray can themes such as montana, and belton. I also want to establish some sort of font for the cover title and also page subtitles, something similar to the monster colours tin/ Belton tin. I think a graffiti style title would be too cliche for this type of book, and the target audience related to it would probably see it as a "bite" or a copy of the montana tin. These are the fonts used on spray cans that Im becoming more interested in...



The Monster Font is pure taste, A form of Urban version of "Bauhaus" If you like, and if you dont like... well youre silly arent you.

Nice layouts again dude. Having looked at it for a bit, I'd like to see what it would look like with a white background and black text. At the minute I think it's maybe too dark, and takes away from the colour in the images.

Looks like it's all going good!

hello sir, this is the first time iv looked at your work for this im really liking the layouts, colour schemes sweet, i think with what will said about it being too dark is to maybe have just a larger image that takes most of the page or to spread it over 2, so one is simply the photo and some cheeky text on opposite,

Also looking at the photos pretty darn lovely, in my opinion the larger the can/more close up photos look better, with the object in the background blurred and what not,
