The use of the unique imagery and exclusive data found on this site would gives an advantage in this brief as it will give the final design output a more specialized attention to the content, a unqiue look at the book compared to the other entries making the cover standout due to attention to detail. Exploring the use of files from the crime, details from the crime scene combined with the personal notes from the criminals detail have be used in this cover design as a visual way of representing the literal style of the book as this is how the Author collected data for the novel, this will fulfill an is a aim set by the client set in the brief ' reflecting both its literary merit and its chilling content'.
