Interview - One of the idea for this brief was to visual reflect the accuracy nature of the publications information, the book is seen as the more true well researched crime book and in a effort to break away from common true crime book cover style.The cover is a interview style document expressing the turning point in the content when the criminal has been caught. This style informs the audeince of slight parts of the book without giving away to much detail of the crime to the reasoning in a intrigue the audeince.
Vintage Style -Research into book covers from this genre showed how the book covers can he heavily influenced by the imagery of the criminals.This idea takes imagery of the murders and depicts their death at the end of the publication. Both the criminals get hung therefore this visually shows this via digital college style but this was done in a way that didn't directly reflect the gruesome of the hanging, but showed it via the use of broken neck photography and a illustrative rope. This is aim interesting the audeince as they be intrigue by the reason for the hanging.
3 Layer of Type - The writing style is a heavy focus of the clients aim for the book cover, a feature of the book that makes it the content clear and engaging for the readers is the use of a range of points of view. The book follows the points of view and storylines of the victims friends, the police/media and the criminals. This is one of the only true crime book that explores the subject area to this degree, consequently this is one of the reasons for the books success. This cover would reflect the 3 stories give by the different accounts of the story by visually expressing the title in 3 different type styles.
College Ideas - These cover designs is based around the in-depth research the style of writing style, and in-depth research conducted. Truman collected a wide range different media, police files and interviews to achieve the books famous accuracy, which became one of the major seeing point and reasons the book is celebrated. These cover ideas are inspired by this process, celebrating the combination of the different research mediums via a college style outcome using similar or the documents Truman would have studied. Images from the victims, criminals, maps of the destination, newspaper articles, crime reports, interviews have all be collected and manually college together than scanned in for this design. The cover of the book aims to visually represent the writing style and show how the combination of source material complied the more interesting cover outcome.
Feedback on the range of ideas as a whole allowed the crit to analyse with outcome was more suitable for the brief, having mocked up the ideas allowed the audience to visually see the ideas in the style they would be presented to the client. this also so the client the idea process.
One of the feedback areas was focused around if the other market agreed with my ethical stance on not using the victim imagery but using the criminal imagery. This was done as the imagery it's self is very bold and representative of the criminals personalities. Including imagery from the crime it's self, photography directly ties to the book to the non fiction field as it expresses the genre of the book to the audience via showing the relevance to real life and in the inclusion of the actual criminals.

Feedback on all these set of ideas explore the visual benefits of all them but focused around the positive feedback around the college type and photo idea 4. This it was felt by the audience that due to the use of the criminal imagery which only is powerful and then the removable of the eyes this had the most dramatic effect on the audience. This is design that should be taken forward as it expressed the tone of the book the most accurately whist representing the writing style in a modern trend way that relates fundamentally with the audience to crime.
