Sock Design

After finding out that the vector design still had resemblance to Harry Potter, I wanted to look at the idea of creating a book cover that doesn't involve an image of Adrian. This would break away form the cliché of the existing book covers, and tick on the brief points, being a unique new book cover design. 

Looking back on my thumbnail sketches, I remember really liking the illustrative style of one of the ideas, that involved symbolising Adrian's rebelliousness, this being through the iconic red socks from the book. The illustrative style would be a great approach for the children's book, and become a book cover that isn't too childish for the all target audience:



I played around with textures and inks to create an interesting background colour for the text of the book. The black ink represented the moment when Adrian started to paint his wall black.
