In order to further develop my initial ideas I've combined the use of the turtle illustration to reflect the tone of the book with the more aesthetically refined idea of using a constellation from within the book on the cover. Figure 1 incorporates the two turtles within the cover which works well as is not overpowered by the strength of the constellations. In relation to figures 2-3 the implementation of black and white allows the patterns to stand out more effectively than in previous experimentations, however the pattern in figure 2 overpowers the copy due the contrast. However the contrast works well in figure 3 as the opacity of the shells has been lowered slightly to allow the copy to be more legible. In comparison to other experimentations these are weaker as the experiments looking at creating the illustration out of stars are more successful. The use of creating the turtle out of starts to replicate a constellations allows the conceptual aspect of the design to be shown effectively whilst still creating a visually effective outcome (see figure 5). This idea was inspired by figure 4 which looked at simply placing the illustration within the constellation featured within original experiments. Figure 5 shows the simple illustration which on its own lacked impact leading to the incorporation of larger stars within the points of the illustration (see figure 6). This allows definition to be given to the illustration allowing to stand out within the cover. However I felt the cover lacked something which lead to the development of featuring more stars surrounding the illustration which creates the impression of a constellation in the sky creating a more balanced cover. I plan to pitch my developed ideas in order to gain feedback on which is most successful, allowing the chosen on to be submitted to the competition.
