Emulation

This is how I created my emulation of one of my scamps using the method on how I made my copy.

I started by drawing each of the detailed parts and images, similar to how I drew the outline of my copy. I got some of the ideas from my pin board of my subject matter.

 I also drew the font I wanted to use for the title of my book. I then cut this out with a cutting board and cutting knife to leaving it clear to put a black sheet behind.

I then scan it into photoshop then cut out the background and placed it under the drawings I have done.

I used the magic wand tall to cut out the the edges around the design. I then added an inner shadow similar to my copy giving it a 3D effect looking like it is engraved into the book.

I scan all my drawings into photoshop the went around the outline so I could the move the street apart to fit my text down the middle in a reasonable size.

I then coloured the street in bold matt colours using the brush tool, similar to the buildings I did in my copy.

I then added the text down the street first copying the blurb from the original book, then converted it to a smart object dragging each edge to the corner giving it the specific shape.

I then started to add the reviews of the book just left aligning each of the paragraphs. I also I added speech marks trying to imply they are the reviews been spoken about. I also put at the bottom the price in a smaller font and also left aligned it.

I then added the right side which is the description about the author of the book. Once again I just copied this from the original  book and added a photo of the author. I also added a barcode and a website at the bottom of the page.

This is the finished book cover a flat copy above, but bellow is the life version which I printed and folded to see how the book cover would tern out in real life.
