After scanning in the image filters were applied to bring out some details within the final design. A background was added to bring out the illustration and fill out the white space to make the whole piece feel softer. The type placement and typeface was decided based on past publications and the style used throughout other Penguin publications. The spine was made to be yellow to match the ribbon on the book and separate it from the rest of the background.
Just before submission the piece had to be reduced to below 5mb, made into a PDF and put into a CMYK format so the colours were drained slightly but the idea behind the piece was to have a slightly older hand rendered look.
