Page Layout Design

I started off by researching some 60's book covers, to see what style and rules that they seem to stick to. I found that a lot of them were either fairly simple, or completely packed with pattern, colour and font. Here are some examples that I found:

Next, I created some of my own designs on Adobe Illustrator. These are all potential covers for my interactive 60's fashion book:

I used 60's inspired patterns and bright, bold colours. I also drew some 60's clothing silhouettes, to represent some of the fashion that was popular in this day. These are only trial covers, as I don't particularly like any of them for my book. This is because I think you can tell that the background is actually modern and therefore does not look like it would of in the 60's. I also think that the 'Fashion' font isn't quite right.
