The cover design should encapsulate the essence or key themes of the book in an imaginative, instant and engaging way. Regardless of style, think of the audience:
The cover design can be made using illustration, photography, mixed media, pure typography or graphic elements. But most importantly, it should give the prospective reader a sense of the tone and content of the book, and appeal to the
broadest possible audience for it.

I tried to evoke an emotion in the reader when they see it, which reflects how they will feel when they read it. Be an attractive piece of design – something that draws people in and makes them want to pick up the book and learn more about it.
Also tried to have a strong use of typography. Have executed the use of colour carefully. A well-considered pop of colour or an unusual palette can make all the difference in a cover design's impact.

Even though my illustration skills weren’t high-end by that time, I had so much fun making these covers design. My favourite project at uni so far!
My outcome for the children's book.
