Book cover project!

Hey everyone, I'm back at uni again so expect loads more updates now I have internet once more *touch wood*

Over the summer the illustration pathway students (including yours truly) were set the task of re-designing 3 book jackets in a more illustrative style. When we came to present them the tutors admitted the covers they had picked were challenging on purpose :P but it's always good to be challenged. So, here are my attempts, which on the whole we were both pleased with and I had quite a lot of fun designing :) I still need to keep simplifying my work, but I feel like I've improved a *lot* over a year, and practice makes perfect.
