When setting up for the shoot and composing the photographs, it will be important to keep in mind the layout of the book cover. The images have to fit inside a set template. The template can be downloaded from the website.
The template is shown below:
Although the compositions can be altered in Photoshop the template cannot be altered; no drop shadows or outlines around the text, no nothing.
This means that the image has to be composed so as not to blend in with the writing, it has to be readable for it to be considered.
The focus of the composition cannot be behind the text as this would affect the strength of the cover when it is all composed. It is pointless coming up with a good idea if when it is shot it cannot be seen or the imagery is misinterpreted.
