We were asked to create and final design book cover for either the Penguin book one hundred Years or the famous Puffin book James And The Giant Peach by Roald Dahl.
When i was researching children's books i noticed that a lot of the books were colourful paintings/drawings so i thought it would be a good idea to do a watercolour like image for the front and back cover. I drew the tree and peach separate, scanned them in and placed them in a good position. I was originally going to put a drawing of James on the cover but i feel that it is better not to have images of the characters as its more fun when people picture what they look like.
I hand wrote the title in a child like writing as it would make it more appealing to the children instead of some fancy or boring computer font. I thought that the blur looked more effective when text wrapped around the tree as it looked a little too boring when it wasn't. What i really enjoyed about this project was that i was able to use mix media and researching other old childrens books. What i disliked about it is that we were unable to choose our own personal puffin or penguin book.
