Book title font tests (Dafont)The first font represents a spider like text, this is a decorative font.
The second font is supposed to represent a dark atmosphere, this is also a decorative font, the fact the letters also represent a woodland effect, this supports the book’s plot as a woodland is featured in the story.
The third font has a mysterious type effect to it, this font looks handwritten, giving it a script type font.
The fourth font, which is also decorative is similar to the first font, as it also represents a spider like effect (web) but also looks fairly magical.

Joseph Cornell
Joseph Cornell was an American Sculptor, born in 1903 and passed away in 1972.
Joseph Cornell gets an ordinary book and makes into a very creative piece of work, his work usually consists of birds, glass and text (pages from a book) and other unordinary things that might usually not be paired together.

Things I might need & my idea
● Jars
● Book pages
● Twigs
● Glitter (magic effect)
I’m going to create a Joseph Cornell style cardboard box, I will design the inside with book pages (to represent the mysterious book in the book I am using) use twigs, and self took images to represent the woodlands and house. And jars and glitter to represent the magic effect.
