Book jackets

These are some of the examples of my final work and what it might look like. I have been looking at numerous book covers and experimented with text a lot in order for me to get the layout and the image working together. I am happy with the layout but the text still needs deciding but my aim will be to keep the simple therefore it would not interfere with the images.

The style is similar to other book covers and it is consistent. My illustrations will be similar looking but they will something within them to make them unique in their own way.

Roald Dahl illustration

I have been looking at illustrations which are done for Roald Dahl books. The approach is quite simple and cartoon like which is understandable as these books are aimed at young readers. The short stories which I will be doing are more serious and have a darker tone to them. Therefore my compositions will be moodier and atmospheric for each story.

A take on the classic animal farm by George Orwell. It is very easy on the eyes and mixture of flat objects and texture creates a great harmonic atmosphere amongst the composition. This illustration is created by Scott Balmer part of his self-promotion work. He used roll of paint and bits of paper to create it. a simple manner but quite effective. My aim is to keep the image simple and at the same time applicable to the vast reading audience.

The final project

We are in the final few weeks of this year. The big project which consists of sixteen weeks has started. I decided to produce illustrations or book covers for short stories by Roald Dahl therefore i will be looking at penguin books covers as they are a strong example of how covers should carry them selfs.
