Episode 4 is about a journey of two siblings of moving to the United States—being homesick and the hardships they faced. However, an idea of bringing a bit of home to the states, and they did just that.
Challenge
One of the major obstacles that I ran into when doing this project was creating a trilogy with book covers that give a sense of unity, and allow myself to think outside the box when brainstorming about the type of medium I wanted to move forward with my designs.
Solution
While excluding the form of using my computer and digitally creating the artwork of my bookcover, I brainstormed the idea of doing a collage-like book cover—collecting, and putting together the correct colored paper to its place.
The Process
Going from Discovery to Final Product
The objective is to choose 3 This is Love podcasts that I thought would be interesting to make, and create a book cover that would tell its story without giving to much information away.
Sketching Phase
When I first did sketches, I wanted to put as much detail into the book cover without spoiling the podcast itself from my one design.
Breaking it down
When breaking it down, I needed to choose the best designs that brought a sense of similarity to each other. To figure that out, I took 2 designs from each podcast.
Finding the Medium
Once I had my designs picked out, referencing one of the podcasts, I went through a couple of trial and errors when picking out my medium.
The right one
I thought, and looked through what I had, but none of it really clicked with how I wanted to design my book cover until I got an idea from when I had a middle school art project that dealt with doing a collage.
Final Look
This Is Love Trilogy
With the completion of the design process, I was able to unify the designs of the trilogys' book covers, and be able to keep that unity while differentiating the different stories.
