The design has gone through a few small changes during the colouring process, I decided to add a break in the spine of the design as i felt like the tape ribbon would interfere too much with the spine text. As for the colour, Im attempting to get an old style newspaper theme since the book is based around a newspaper columnist.
I went with the old red letter wax for the actual ink colour, as it was a perfect way to portray the bloodied tape ribbons and violence whilst still sticking to the newspaper theme. I think the colour works well with the vintage paper background look, had i kept the ink black it would have looked too much like ink, and taken away from the blood effect.
