Final design |
Today has literally been so exhausting, and I've only managed to fill three pages in my sketchbook. I've just been trying to finalise the image that will cover the book, which was SO much more fiddly than I'd imagined. I decided from mine and others opinions to use Indian ink and a thin paint brush to get a tapered and very hand-drawn effect, and then add some detail with a cartridge pen.
The outcome has worked so well in my opinion and looks really striking, its so different to anything I'd usually do but I'm going to scan it in to change the background colours to make the whole thing look a bit more vibrant and finished. Not sure what colour would be best suited to a book about waste but I will find out now:
All my flatmates said brown or earthy colours so I'll look into that. I also need to think about what text to put on the cover and spine.
