ok ive gotten the type on the back situated as well as the silhouette. That took days lol but its fixed the best way that i could get it. i still am going to play around with it some more if i see that it needs it. I am going to start working on the image that is going through the silhouette so that it will be finished when i go to print and cut it out.
For the red and green it basically is similar to the concept behind the cover with the silhouette. I want to focus on Gatsby's love for daisy and the green light that he stared at which was her house across the docks. The city of new york symbolizes peoples desire to make their dreams come true and New York is the city where dreams are made of. The red in the city symbolizes passion and this is what people have in the city and when they see it. New York City inspires people. However the green in the empire state building represents Gatsby's desire. Its supposed to be a play off of the green light in the silhouette to give the back and front some unity. Red and Green are compliments of each other so i thought that contrast would help in the concept; however, i am still fond of the white and black. I need insight and help on which direction i should go with. im open for any suggestions. i stilll need to play with the type on the side but im trying to keep things clean and different from any Great Gatsby book.
