Print making project

This is my most recent print for print making and we are learning to add textures. It's pretty cool.

Final Product

I changed the tree's in the background so it's not an entire tree but more of the branches of trees in winter, and after meeting with our group changed the photograph so it looked like a polaroid and more naturalistic. Where as before it looked like I tried to make it look like that in photoshop. I also added just a smidge of color to the title to reflect the color in the finger tips. I am really happy with how it turned out, I think it's engaging without really telling you anything about the book.

First Draft

So I took pictures of some kids I used to work with at a DayCare, and I really wanted to play off off of the fact that color starts to appear once the character of this book starts to learn how to be the Giver. Also the background was to elude to that fact that in the end of the book Jonas runs away through the woods and it's winter.

Thumbnails for Book Cover

I decided since the most recent books that I have read have been the twilight series and Harry Potter that chosing a book I read in middle school would work better. Especially since I love the covers of the twilight series just as they are. So I decided to chose the book the Giver. Some of the main ideas of this book are that the people don't see colors, have memories, etc except for the Giver.
