Initial design tests

DVD cover

To test the initial idea of using the dvd case that PC games come in as the cover, a book is placed inside the box. This is effective as the cover of the book itself is still seen through the clear plastic. It also gives the book more of a hardback cover, as well as visually suggesting what the book is about. 

To test the idea of a strip around the book with the thoughts written out, a strip from a different book is used to represent this. This works well to tie the whole design together.
