Visual Research

This is my visual research for the week. I am reading this book called Bleachers. It is about a kid named Neely Crenshaw who was high school champion quarterback. He has returned to the field where he once reigned supreme and reunites with several old friends from the team. He and his friends are coming to terms with how their lives have turned out as well as the impending death of their coach.
I like the cover of this book. It has a somber feel to it. The colors seem to settle amongst themselves in a most provocative way. The bleachers are the central image of the page and the flood light provides a center of emotion for the picture. It seems to be sunset.
John has used a serif font for the text on the cover called Trajan Pro. The color of the text is light against the dark background.
