My final cover uses a chromatic blue and brown, limited colour palette scheme. I have used watercolours to create a textured background, and the men in various falling positions, that are outlined with graphite. This use of hues is used to keep a mature and un-childish appearance, and is also used in the interior illustrations. I have used the scruffy, 1940s styled typeface, made from biro, that foreshadows elements of the book, and creates a contrast between the two typefaces used on the cover.
I also added images, quotes and a blurb on the dust jacket, informing the reader about legal information and opinions of the book. These texts have been displayed around the illustrations, bringing them forward. The text is also in black to continue the chromatic dull theme, and create a good contrast between the light background.
