CONCEPT STATEMENT
CLIP. WHACK. HIT. BURN. SWAG.
The Boss is the ultimate decider of who should stay and who should go in the cut throat word of an Italian Mobster. The “Don” and his men are responsible for big city hustles and schemes, including car theft, hijacking, smuggling, and other criminal activity. A career in the so called "waste management business" is as time consuming as a regular 9-to-5, but instead of a briefcase, these men sport flashy pinky rings, hankies, gold cufflinks, and Italian suits. It is not all glitz, glamor, and beautiful women, though, if you become to greedy and are caught "eating alone" you will be clipped, hit, whacked. Capiche? The best way to stay alive in this business is to stay clear of any rats and not be a "jamook," an idiot, loser, lamebrain, you know, a jamook!
TO SUGGEST

a daunting feeling
death and violence
the harsh, cold reality of organized crime

Very clever, i know that were supposed to say which rule your supposed to be paying attention to but i think that you did a wonderful job. I love the simplicity of it. I think you got your point achieved. Ive never read these books and i can tell what they might be about. So Nice Job!

ReplyDeleteThanks Justin!
ReplyDeleteJessica. I really how you used the same color scheme throughout your series using a different color each time for the same point of emphasis on the back covers. I also enjoy how you used the type with your image on each cover. It adds more interest to each book and makes the viewer look for meaning. very nice.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you still accomplished something meaningful with grayscale and using red as an emphasis. love love love the E for the head and the shovel for the I! great ideas.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of imagery into the title of the book. I also like how you used spot color within the whole series. Very nice
