Afterthoughts

This was my first time creating a book cover, and I had an amazing time doing it. I'm particularly proud of the color combinations I chose and enjoyed working with the photos from the different architects.

Reflection

What I would have done differently

I think that my text in the typographic-only versions could
have better hierarchy. The text on the top half of the book are identical and it would be tough for readers to separate the
book title from the series title.
