Book Cover Ideas

So, I had originally planned on creating a collage-type image for the book covers. You know like... when you see a ransom note, it is a collage of different fonts cut out from magazines. Only I was going to try to do that with the imagery. So yesterday I went out to the thrift stores/goodwills/etc. But to check out different book covers I went to Barnes & Noble to perhaps get some inspiration as far as layout, type, and the like. I saw a book there about Hunter S. Thompson. On the book cover was a drawing done by Ralph Steadman. So Yesterday I changed my idea and am now going along with Ralph Steadman style for my book covers. Ive been working on both (rad maker and books) but leaning towards working on the books more for some reason, so I haven't really done anything else for the rad maker poster series. whatev
