Alexander Flores

These Observer cover designs by Alexander Flores are really interesting to my practice right now. This first cover has taken a really interesting approach to using a simple colour range. I have been experimenting with laying over block colour to a grey scale image to make it more interesting and I love the way that Flores has done it here with a simple circle of colour to highlight the creature behind the text. We no longer loose the image behind the text but more look past the text to the image first before reading it.

This second cover obviously relates to my current astronomy project but i have mainly looked at this cover because to the way they have separated the sections of text. The coloured circles/planets make this cover a lot more interesting but still with a high typographic resolution.
