As we had a group of four we each chose a genre that we were familiar with and chose a colour which we thought represented a typical colour choice for a book cover as well as a less conformist interesting option. We chose to use a Pantone + colour guide to make our decisions.
Crime
Decision behind colour choices:
Typical colour - The deep red is similar to a blood red, relating to the genre appropriately.
Less Conferment Colour - The neon orange stood out as a colour we all related to warning and the police/service uniform. These are areas that are typically addressed in this genre therefore we think is an alternative choice colour to use for a crime fiction front cover.
Fairy Tale
Decision behind the colour choices:
Typical colour - young target audience therefore soft colours are more welcoming and appealing.
Less Conferment Colour - Mysterious, relates to more of an adult audience
Humour
Decision behind the colour choices:
Less Conferment Colour - Vibrant loud colour that reflects a comedians personality and the way they come across on stage
Typical colour - Ironic colour choice that is typically associated with humorous chickflicks
Western
Decision behind the colour choices:
Typical colour - Traditional colour choice that relates to the scenery a western film is usually filmed in; dust, rust, desert
Less Conferment Colour - Modern example of a childrens western playing on the idea of a cactus
