Whilst I'm working on the exercises for Project 2 I've read ahead to the assignment for this section and am putting together thoughts to complete it. I've always been interested in design work and this assignment - design a book cover - has really grabbed my interest.
When I read all the way through it I realised that I had started off on the wrong tack. I have decided to feature the book "Far From the Madding Crowd" but to pull the design into the 21st century rather than use an old fashioned design. Then I reread the instructions and it tells you to take your own photographs and this would be difficult as the book is set well in the past. I know there are set ups depicting how life was then but it's more a question of time rather than place. I've fallen behind on my assignment completion date and I want to get it finished as near to the end of November rather than let it stray into December and get caught up in the Christmas rush.
I've chosen this book because I know the book so well. It's been one of my favourites for many years and I could see myself living life in those times so well. Now all I have to do is visualise how I want the cover to look and I'm away. To see my progress check out the link above for assignment 2.
