For my book cover design I chose to kill a mockingbird and from some reaserch into the book came up with the key themes that I would focus on in my design. I did some sketches of mockingbirds, a tree and a gavel and from this focussed my designs around these illustrations. This approach gave me a good foundation for my designs instead of starting from nothing on my computer. The book is a classic so previous covers have been quite tradiotional. I wanted to make a new and current cover wich could appeal to old and new readers. I used the illustrations keep an element of tradition but paired this with bold and striking typography using bright colours to contrast this. The cover had to be fitting with the penguin book series so i used gill sans and futura wich are often seen on penguin book covers.
