The tone of voice for the books is very serious and scathing, so I wanted the book cover to match that. I would not use colour due to the possible connotations of each colour. The connotations of black and white representing death, power, elegance are suitable. I used a line to signify oil diminishing and prices rising. the text is isolated like people are.
I screenprinted the text onto matte black paper. I then attempted the foiling of the oil section. This went poorly as I was sold the wrong glue, damaging all of my screenprints. At this point I had cleaned the screen of it's emulsion. I decided to foil press an entire a4 and then place a screenprint ontop, This was nowhere near the quality I wanted but in the short time I had it was the best I could do unfortunately. I believe that had my work printed and foiled correctly it would have looked great.
