Cover

These are my test for the cover. I was struggling with making the colours work because i wanted to use the same colours as inside the book so it works as a set. Also so i could do sets of prints and this would still work as a cover print for them. Like my illustration friday pack. except instead of a sleeve just having a full sized print that works as a cover.

I realised too late though that i was meant to make the background not blue. Firstly because i want it to stand out in the show and I'm having it displayed on a blue background. Secondly because i felt it would make more sense if the person is blue, because it is called being blue. But i went ahead and ended up with a blue back ground anyway. So i did to it what i did to my postcard: i put a small border around it made of squares and lines. That made it a bit clearer but in white the lines were too vibrant and contrasting but in blue they faded into the blue background, and it defeated the point of making a border. Then the darkest blue just looked too overcrowded as there was just blue and no white representing some space and breathing room.  So i took the colour away from the outer rim of the border and made it dark blue so it frames it and theres a border of white which will act as a big outline when sat on the blue in the show. I think it will really make it stand out.
