D&B Guidebook covers

Guidebooks on London, Manchester, and Bristol.

First Cover

Drum and Bass Guidebook covers

My Uni asked me to make three guidebook covers themed to a specific music genre. Each guidebook would feature one city that has a prominent music scene in that specific genre.

Second Cover
Book 3

Initial Ideas

I started sketching out some rough ideas for each cover. I also decided what music genre I wanted to use as a theme and which three cities I would feature

Final sketch

Here is a finalised sketch of the London guidebook's front cover. I added the black music bars on a whim.
