It’s been a looong while since I’ve put anything in this thread, but since I’ve been going back to school I thought it was time to post something. Our first assignment this semester was to design a book cover, so here it is. We had to pick a certain art or design style to model it after and I picked a kind of retro 50-60’s look. I wanted it to look like kind of a modern take on a dusty old library book you’d pull off the shelf.

Let me know what you think. The proof has already been turned in and approved. This is the final, or _near_ final copy, and about the second real project I’ve done in Illustrator. The first semester last fall was more of a quick run-through of Adobe CS3 and didn’t focus on any one program for too long.

_edit_-d’oh! All I have on hand is a 2mb pdf. I uploaded it to mediafire, but if you have any better suggestions in the meantime please share 'em. Anyway, here’s the link if anyone cares to download the pdf.
