Final Design for Book Cover

This is my final design for the cover of my book. I have kept it black and white as then I can screen print it. My logo design is on the back of the book, this is something that I want to continue doing throughout all my work so then can create an identity.

This is my final design for the front cover of my book. 

Front Cover Designs

I have made the Illustration of India smaller this has given the imagery more detail. Also I have tried to incorporate the title of my book within the Imagery.

To give the Imagery more interest I have created a pattern within the outline. 

Here I created an outline of india, this is appropriate for my book as the illustrations within the book are influenced from my trip to India.

Here I have all my artwork ready to send to Heraldic pottery. I have to send all the artwork as A3 pdf files. I have tried to get as much artwork onto these sheets, I have two tea sets of ceramic artwork on these sheets. Also I have created extra logo prints that could be applied to bottom of each piece of ceramic, this will give the identity of my work.

Illustration onto Plate Template

Small Plate Template

Large Plate Template

Here I have created the a template of a plate to fit my Illustrations around. This has helped me to get a feel of how the plates may look. Looking at the compesition of the illustrations.

Layouts For India Book

I like having the type quite separated as this will allow me to create imagery between the text, maybe a image that relates to the illustration.

Having the type together looks a too bold, I think reconsidering the font and size will help to create a more aesthetically pleasing cover

Here I have made the text smaller, and I feel it looks more appropriate for the book. I will next have to consider the imagery that will be suitable with this type. 

Design to be applied around mug

Here I have taken all my illustration work, and put it together. This template of a rectangle is a template for a mug, this illustration will be applied to a mug.

India Illustration

This Illustration work is Influenced from my trip to India. I started by taking photographs and Illustrating over the top of them. After illustrating from photographs, I then screen printed my images. The next process that I went through was to enlarge the images and then draw back into them. Then I made the images to a template of A6, which gave the images great detail. I screen printed the A6 formats onto different paper stocks and different colours of ink. 

This gave me a vast amount of Imagery to play with. The next stage of the illustration I decided to go with, was to start cutting and sticking, overlapping layers of imagery. This gave the imagery a depth and interest. I scanned in all my Imagery and started playing around on photoshop, testing with colour balance and contrast.
