1. To kickstart the project I created a mind map
to visually map out my ideas. The thumbnails
was my illustration starting point, I knew I
wanted to use the photo of Ender wearing his
space helmet so I made 8 different images of
that.
I wanted to try one illustration as
a sketch and one as a vector so I
created these 2 designs after
looking at my thumbnails.
The response from the email led me
to follow my vector idea. While
waiting for a response to that email I
researched some typography ideas.
Before I got into designed
my final cover I researched
a bit into colours that would
work well by making a
colour wheel and defined
what colours made up my
two mock ups.
My final design then came
about at the end, it contained
similar colours to my other
mock ups and typography
from my ideas sheet.
