Delta X: A Senior Narrative Book Jacket by Daniel Wilson (2014)

Delta X is a story about an obsessive scientist whose life is filled with monotony. Thus my cover's background consists of grey pens in white shirt pockets textured in a very repetitive way, representing all the uneventful days of the scientist's life. To stand out on the bookshelf however, I used a bright green, off center pen to represents the one day in the story that turned his monotony on its head. I used Adobe Illustrator to make the all the graphics on the cover, including the shadow effects found on the pockets. Putting all the pictures and text in the right place was done in Adobe InDesign because of its impressive ability to easily position things precisely where you want them to be.
