Illustration/Graphics

Illustration project- create a book cover, my initial research was already existing book covers, for inspiration.

The work of Niky Roehreke, is illustration thats based on fashion, an area of interest and inspiration to my final piece.

This is research i did on Stephen Rothwell, a photomontage artist, a technique i was keen to use throughout this brief, however i wanted to work more in the colours of pink so they represented me as a person, a vital part to the project, being it an autobiography book of myself,

My final style sheets that we had to creat on A1 sheets of paper, here i experimented with the use of different backgrounds and prestenting my work in a more quirky way, a way i prefer to work,

and the sam again, showing the thought process that went into my book cover.

Front cover final, i created this in photoshop, i am really happy with the way the title of the book came out, and how it follows the shapes on the page, and also the low opacity scanned in image of my scarf for the background, however i am not particularly happy with the entire look of the book.

I liked the spink of the book and my use of typography for the font, i like the randomness of it and how it looks hand done, i also love the worked into/washed out pink colour.

I also like the back cover, again with the use on the scan in of my scarf and low opacity sections to allow the text to stay visible yet black, overall i did like my book cover but i think with a longer time i could defiantly have expanded my ideas more.

My next specialism was Illustration/Graphics where the brief was to create a book cover inspired by ourselves and our collection of work from the summer project. i again chose to work with the idea of fashion and a selection of my clothes.
