a childrens book cover


a childrens book cover

i appoached this assignment with enthusiasm, i started by sketching various animals from the world, then refining the characters to a more stylised approach.   when i had decided upon a style i rendered other animals in the same style.


The characters where rendered in thee or four colours making a striking composition, i tried to pick colours with a distinctive contrast to make them stand out.





i then set to work on the covers i wanted allot of bright primary colours, the first design i chose a block approach separating three chosen animals.  the animal panels are in there environment. this is my personal favourite.


the second cover i tried to include more of an around the world approach, in a more litral way. i think this however while converying animals around the world lacks the punch of the first one. i think aswell that the text is in the weomg place and is not as clearly shown, this is a fault with bad planning on my part. 


the last one has more of an emphases ln the text and title then the other. perhaps i should have included more animals in the middle. i am also not happy with the contrast of the world word.
