Giving new birth to medical books, where are creative industries?

Before

Don't you think this book needs a new face?

This is so injustice for this "Tile of the book" where it seriously needs a new face and refreshing ideas to sell in the market. It still stands in amazon.co.uk with its poor design.

There are hugh list of medical books in the market shelves. What is lacking behind is the poorly design covers. Is it because the medical books does not require a marketing or it has been ignored because it is itself a selling product due to health being a crucial issue that we need them in our daily life. No offense to medical students with thick glasses who are book worms who does not judge the books by its cover.

While talking about the book cover i found a book on Alzhimer disease, I went through hugh list of books on amazon.co.uk but none of the cover really interested me. Probably, i judge the book by it's cover. I admit ...Yes i do!!

The picture shown above is one of the book cover of my interest, simple font, simple colour , simple layout. Although, it still stands in the amazon shop list for consumers around the world.

What a shame to creative industries.

Therefore, i wanted to give a new birth to this title. I had a picture taken in this theme in a photo studio while i was in my first year at uni.

what have i been doing so far ????

I wonder what have i been doing so far? Where are my creative ability, vision ? Where are my works? Demolished???? Questions to be asked my creative fellas.

My hands are just stuck with my Mac looking forward to grab

some work. I was just flipping over my old stuffs. I found a lot of unfinished self promotional work. Literally, for three days i have been playing with it. Somehow

great results !!!

Here are the examples of some work:

Photo Shoot!!!

Just suffered with this terrible back ache problem. Never mind i manage to utilize my valuable time with the creative idea that came out for my Bulgarian Holiday theme. I was more inspired by looking at the Bulgarian souvenier when i went on my ski holiday.

1> Priority of the day was to shoot many pictures of Bulgarian dolls for my promotional piece.

Finally i made it !!!

Although, there are some missing ingredients to it. Therefore, i decided to make some paper mountain. Simple crafted paper mountain with snow seemed to be my requirement. Not to forget the cloud. I decided to utilize my camera inorder to find a creative solution. I wanted the shadow of my cloud. I think i knew what i want.

Here you go after many many shots , i found the right picture. Still photoshop expertise need to take effect. Anyway, love the shadow of the cloud. Well done me!!

Finally, my reward my achievement here you are.

Just love it. How inviting you are towards the tourism market of Bulgaria.

Well done me again!!!!!

Ski Bulgaria

I went on Ski holiday in Bulgaria and wanted to capture some moment with my drawing.

The whole experience made me think of drawing some images for childrens book on SKI.
