AS: Our young readers gather like what they like and to happily include books and I think also applies to the publishers: They collect topics and ideas for interesting stories that they provide then the more attractive to readers and as a new "collector's items "offer. AS: Our 'tiger eyes' - type books are adventure stories with lots of pictures (diagrams, blueprints, elevations), the factual information and thus complement the text playfully with knowledge. AS: The idea of ??developing a new line is being built near us when we have a lot of new the finished mystery book ideas that span a random theme and a reading age (or have even suggested it!). dtv junior, last fall with> <dtv girl, started a series specifically for girls - is> dtv junior tiger eye 'now the equivalent for boys?. AS: No, because then the books would have to yes> dtv boy <hot . . But, joking aside, of course, the> dtv junior Tiger eyes' series is aimed primarily at boys, which we also want to offer cool looking books with exciting stories. AS: The basic idea was to develop adventure stories for 9-year-old, which are designed to read as boys do: they provide an interesting history to browse, but also wise information on the subject of the book. Our goal, of course, to entice the boys to read. AS: The naming process was the most difficult. From the name depended on his face, the whole cover design. Many people were involved in the naming process. The colleagues from various departments of the publishing house, our proofreaders (the target group!), But also our graphic designer, Ralph Bittner, has thought a lot and helped us significantly. RB: A new series takes a unique, memorable and as short names. Finally, other information such as title and author appear on the envelope. AS: One very significant! Because one wants to touch the books and look like. The covers are designed to look cool but also show clearly what is at stake in the book!. RB: The design should be original and striking, so they are good at highlighting all the other the finished mystery book series. Finally, decide the appearance of a the finished mystery book on whether it makes you curious and if anyone wants to read it. RB: The number graphic design, so all the elements of the volumes are to decorate, must not be unduly small, otherwise it would distract too much from the other elements such as illustrations and the title. It will rather provide a framework in which the other elements are highlighted well. The series therefore needs a logo, a> <character is where they now clearly recognized. That was worse on the 'tiger eyes especially exciting because I could seek inclusions me crucial in finding the series name and immediately think in pictures. So one ponders about what might bring "excitement, fun and knowledge" expressed both in words and in pictures, or better in graphics. After numerous proposals, we concluded that a very abstract concept would be most appropriate. I've considered what row name could contain all the required areas and can also be implemented graphically appealing as eye-catching logo. First you look at looks like a large cat's eye actually. The tiger eye and skin structure had in the first step stylized accordingly, thus simplified in order to achieve the maximum graphic impact. RB: A number of boys the excitement and adventure includes should appear mysterious. A dark blue is like a lurking in the dark and observed large cat that is ready to jump for the adventure. To give the series the special mysterious whistle, was the blue in the pressure as a shimmering metallic foil imprint realized and emphasized the tiger's eye by a plastic embossing. But you can see and feel first, and if you take the finished books in hand. . .
