Linework

Cover Concept

This is a concept for the cover of my picture book. Imagine a line down the centre with the back cover on the left and the front on the right. I was playing with some hand drawn type but it wasn't really working. Going to look at some typefaces now and see what works. I might well change the whole thing if I can't get the type to work with the image.

The Beginning

I've spent the last couple of hours putting in a street view through the window of this image. Finished it, looked at it, played with the hues, the levels and you know what?

Keep It Simple Stupid. Less is more.

Select layer... delete. Aaah! Much better!

Shaky Start

A shaky start to your first day on the job.

Remember your first job? Mine was in a Fish 'n' Chip shop (how English!) as a "chipper and peeler" and lasted the sum total of about 8 hours as I never went back! Oh, and in case you're wondering, it wasn't chipping and peeling by hand, I had to carry the potatoes from one machine to the next in big buckets. By the end of the day my uniform was like concrete from all the starch! On the plus side I did get to have all the Fish and chips that I could eat! And we wonder why there's an obesity problem in this country...

Look familiar? I've reworked this old image to fit a book project I'm working on. All the long and thin images I've been posting are part of it but I've still got plenty more to do. Stay tuned!
