Final Book Cover- B/W

Evaluation for Artefact Unit

This is the evaluation for my final book cover. I answered these questions honestly and gave my opinions on the successful and less successful parts of my work.

My Book Cover

This is my final book cover for the Artifact unit of the course.  I scanned drawn pictures into the computer and edited and improved them using Photoshop. At first, I didn't intend to use a stroke around the images and writing, it was something that I accidentally fell across and decided to include in my work. However, I'm glad I used it as it adds to the girly, fairy tale look I wanted to create in my work. I think my book cover was successful and I am very happy with the final design. 

Draft Drawings For My Book Cover

These are some draft drawings of fairy characters that I was considering using on my book cover. I tried to draw very different characters so I could choose which one I thought matched the role the best and which one I would prefer to use.

Draft Drawings For My Book Cover

These are draft drawings of other components that I am considering including on my final book cover. I chose these items as they all associate with the theme I have chosen of fairytails. I really like the toadstools and am definitely going to use them somewhere in my work.

Draft Drawings For My Book Cover

These are drawings of scenery and other items I could possibly include on my final book cover. I havn't decided what exactly I'm going to use yet but probably won't be using the witches broom, hat or cauldron as these were just items associating with the fairytail theme but are not actually included in the storyline of my book. I do, however, really like the stars and could use these to fill up any background space on my cover.

Rough Draft of Book Cover- "Sophie- Mary The Runaway Fairy"

This is the draft of my final book cover drawn in pencil. I used my Draft Drawings pages to decide what was going to go on my final design and decided to use the stars and the toadstools. I also added extra bits as I went along and will continue to fill it up more when I scan it into the computer and begin to edit and improve it in Photoshop.
