The photograph on this book cover has been made modern with the addition of a purple filter. This photograph of a historic interior demonstrates Birmingham’s architectural history, but indicates its modernity with the unusual cover colour and bold capitalised title text. The addition of colour and modern lettering can re-vamp a historical subject and broaden its appeal.
