FAMOUS COUPLES
This project consisted in choosing an iconic duo, representing them with two objects and creating a unique design for a book cover. The couple could be from real history, fiction, sports, entertainment, anything. I decided to go with Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta from FC Barcelona.
Two football legends that played together for 15 years at FC Barcelona. They are considered one of the most iconic midfield duos in the history of the sport. They are two of my biggest idols as I have been a very big Barcelona fan since I was a kid. So, I found it appropriate to use them both for this project.

Process
The font used for the title is called the Onyx font, it is a very elegant font, which is fitting for the elegant style of football Xavi and Iniesta represent.
For the objects used, a football cleat was used to represent Xavi, and use a square pattern over it. Xavi was known by nicknames such as The Architect. The square pattern represents the mathematical precision he was known for. For Iniesta, the object used was a football, with a swirl pattern on top, as if it was an optical illusion. Known for his incredible flair. It was fitting to try and have an optical illusion pattern over the ball to represent him.
As far as the colors go, the colors from the FC Barcelona crest were used. Blue, and red, or the Blaugrana, as they call it in Catalunya. The red and yellow stripes represent both the colors of the flag of Spain, and the colors present in the flag of Catalunya, where they are from.
