Small Brief - Penguin Random House - Book 1 - Development

Development

Initially I struggled with coming up with roughs for the book cover. Because it has been done so many times and there's a film of the book, it was hard to bash those existing images out of my head. So I thought I should strip it back and don't over complicate the composition, sticking to simple shapes. 



I think I'm going in the right kind of direction. I like the idea of using the abstract shapes to create the face of the main character, like what I did in my previous module. Seeing as I have done this concept before, it will save me some time as I have learnt how to do this style quite quickly. It's also very contemporary which is what the brief asks for.

So I then carried on drawing, using the concept of creating the face made up with objects. I made a list of the key symbols from the book, drew Alex's face, then went with it.
