This book cover would be for one of my favorite bands since I was in college, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. I have loved their music which to me is reminiscent of old folk music with new sounds mixed in. I think Bela Fleck describes it the best by saying, "I think the Flectones are a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz." I was able to see them several times when I was in college and I think that Victor Wooten may be the most talented bass player I have ever heard.
The front cover of the book would include their name with one of the interesting font styles that they use on their album covers. Below that I would include their trademark spaceship but instead of using the point that they usually use on it I would use the head of a banjo. Then below this creation I would add a picture of them on stage with a group of fans around it.
For the spine of the book I would have Flecktones, their regular trademark spaceship without the banjo head and then my last name. I would have the thrusters from the spaceship carry over to the back cover just a bit.
On the back cover I would include a picture of the band at the top. Probably a promotional picture if I can find one that I like. Below that would be the quote that I referenced above. At the bottom would be the members of the band along with what instruments that they play.
I may decide to work something into the background as well but it will depend on how the entire project looks when I have it finished. At this point the background will be black but I may change my mind in final production.
