Breif Writing Exercise: Written Component A4

Design Brief: A book cover for a biography of Steve Jobs

Job Type: Design a book cover for a biography of former apple CEO, Steve Jobs.

The design should be an intricate mosaic of his technological creations, yet through the use of shape and a black background these creations will form an image of his face presenting a clever persona.

This design will convey messages of:

•         Creation
•         Technology
•         Genius
•         Sophistication
•         Complexity
•         Intelligence

The design should include the following: 

• All of Steve’s “MAC” and technological creations forming an image of his face from a front on perspective. 
• His face should be contemplative with him looking upwards as if thinking of new ideas.
• The background will be entirely black with most of his facial structure being certain lighter shades of whites and yellows. This will create a detailed image recognizable as both Mac creations and Steve’s face. Ultimately creating a major contrast between the background and the facial image. 
•  The facial image will be central to the cover and will apply for two thirds of the entire space of the cover.
• Text will be bold and simple. Up the top above the image text will say “Steve Jobs” and underneath the image will say “ Life of a Genius”.

The design should be intended not only for people who know Steve from his creations but also who are generally interested to explore an intellectually genius mans mind. The design will not apply to age specific groups or cultures. It will be purely Steve Jobs as a Genius and through the design will convey that message to everyone whatever their age and lifestyle.

The dimensions of the design will be 297mm H x 210mm W to accommodate for not only the large A4 Collectors Edition of the book but also the standard paperback novel size.
