Initial Ideas:
- Incorporate quote from the book, 'four shotgun blasts that all told ended six lives'
- Included binoculars and radio which aided in the arrest of Dick and Perry.
- Shotgun repeated to represent each victim
- cover featuring suspect list of those involved/suspected throughout the book
- highlight the fictional events Capote create of the Clutters actions the day of the murder.
Figures 1 show initial sketches incorporating the initial ideas above with typographic treatments designed in study task 2 in order to develop 5 digital designs for the cover of In Cold Blood. Upon reflection those which are most successful are those which take advantage of the negative space within the cover and feature a simple and potentially typographic design. However the success of the ideas above will be more visible once digitally produced in order to see how they work within the specific size of the book cover. I feel the strongest idea is that of the suspect list and the use of the quote as these address the themes of the book in a less obvious manner.
