PENGUIN RESEARCH

Sketchbook Research

This is a page from my Penguin Sketchbook showing how I work and find an idea through the use of research. I have included various novels that relate with colour and also a grid structure that makes the book look professionally and also successful.

  

SKETCHBOOK - HAYLEY JADE SIMPSON 2011

CONTRASTING BRANCHES

Currently in my Editorial lesson and I have drawn a picture related to my research for my Penguin book cover. My idea came from 'In The Woods - Tana French' and I have used the branches to experiment with how image could represent the words. I have added another image showing some adjustments on Photoshop. I used the level tool to create a more dark and sinister pattern. 

My original design was created using pencil drawn over with fineliner then added water to create a smudged effect on the branches. I find this to be my best technique in creating a pen run perfectly. 

PENGUIN - ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOO'S NEST

PENGUIN LOGO - JAN TSCHICHOLD 1948

Currently working on a Penguin Book Cover design brief for the book 'The One Who Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest'.

From reading the synopsis the cover has to prove a very powerful point in order to work successfully and creatively. I have a limit of 4 weeks to come up and develop an idea which will be submitted for my final idea. I am looking very forward to the idea's that I can come up with during this project.

URBANOGRAPHY

  URBANOGRAPHY - HAYLEY JADE SIMPSON 2011

The photo consists of graffiti on a telephone box outside my University. The colours are powerful and has attracted other students on the design. The simplicity of this has made it more powerful. People find graffiti a destruction of the environment but I find it to be an influence and creative aspect of a certain place.
