Hi all,
For the past year I've made it my mission to recreate Gilderoy Lockhart's Year with the Yeti. I've been obsessed with all of the GIlderoy books since I saw CoS, and always wanted this particular book on my shelf.
The design work was pretty standard. I started by sourcing and acquiring the original prints used to make the original prop (three prints in total), scanned them and then photoshopped for weeks to create the main cover.
The book it covers is a 20cm x 20cm blank sketchbook.
Here are some progress pics, along with a couple of failed attempts for the spine text (still not figured a viable method out yet)-
Test/draft copies to see how things layout:
Cut-outs of the spine text tried on both card-stock and gold foil (failed).
And voila!:

Let me know what you guys think! I'd be glad of any tips for the spine text too
