Concept for the 'faber film' range of books, to be purchased through the
print on demand service from faber & faber publishers.
The idea behind the concept is to allow the user to have complete control
over the composition of their book cover. I decided to create a series of
typographic landscapes, built using quotes, dialogue and information from
each of the books in each of the categories of the series.
The interface is based on the way google maps operates, so the user would
enter the desired book from the category and the interface would then zoom
into the general area the book is located in the landscape. The user would
then have control over the scale of the type and control exactly where the
composition would be cropped to create their book cover.
