Illustrations


After I had many peoples feedback that I should include illustration to my design I decided it was a good way to show what was in each chapter but also to represent key characters. This means people who haven't read the story will be intrigued by the images and want to understand them however people who have read it will have the knowledge and understand the link to the narrative and story. The illustrations also make the covers look less flat by overlapping certain parts making the images appear to be coming out of the 'Phone screen' style background. The style of my images are hand drawn in with white strokes. This is due to a part of the story that the main character spends a lot of time writing in white chalk, these drawings give the effect that the main character has drawn them. This gives the audience more of a link to the characters.

When creating my illustrations it took some trial and error. I kept getting constant feedback from others of wether all of my illustrations fit together as a set and wether they were easy understandable. I had to change some of my designs to keep a more constituent line width to make them look better as a collection and these where my final choices.
