The Dark & Hollow Places title experiment

A little expreiment with the title. The font was altered on Photoshop using the Bevel and Emboss effects.

The marble texture was used by overlapping a photograph on a seperate layer and changing the layer style.  

Pre-production

I decided to mind-map a few ideas for the pre-production task, since the book had so many elements that could have made it recognisable.
Some ideas were:
- images of a ballon
- a crumbling city
- an army flag
- a dark subway
The text also, it was decided, shoul be either ancient and eroding away, or sleek and elegent, if a little worn.

Here are a few of the mind-maps:

It was hard to decide on a final design, and I still had to play around with the layouts a bit.
