Objective

In this project I found two iconic famous couples in a fictional setting and designed a book cover utilizing the Penguin Book style as the main concept. 

The goal was to mimic the Penguin Books we all know and love, utilizing the iconic orange color and minimal color scheme. Here I've chosen Superman and Lois Lane from the popular comic book series Superman.

Solution

I've found items that represented their characters from the comic book and played with them until I found the perfect match. Superman with is iconic cape and "S" symbol are always ready to sacrifice their being in order to save the day. Lois Lane is represented by her camera as she is a top notch daring reporter who is also very independent and strong minded. I found success in that the cape is used as a parachute carrying the camera away safely from danger as well as their love for one another represented with the opposite pull from the heavy camera in order for the cape to stabilize in the wind. Each character are very different yet need each other to achieve balance in their life and love.

Fonts & Color

I found the elegance and classical form of Didot into my title choice. Gill sans is such an easy to read san serif which is utilize for all of the readings.

Each color was chosen based upon the characters I use. Red for Lois Lane and Blue for Superman. Orange, white, and black are must haves for this particular project because they are the natural colors of a standard Penguin book.
