Final Design | Evaluation

I've not enjoyed this project nearly as much as the previous one in terms of the research and preliminary work, but i have enjoyed producing my art work far more this time.

I think I didn't enjoy the preliminary work as much this time because I am naturally far less interested in The Wind in the Willows than the world wars and the history that was bought with them that we had to research and immerse ourselves in for the last project.

When it came to the production of my cover I was far happier than last time. I felt far more confident with the software and I knew straight away what exactly I wanted to produce and moreover I knew most of the techniques I could use to create the effects I wanted, although some development and learning was on going throughout the production process as I came into new obstacles that I had to get around. I'm also far happier with the final outcome this time. I was far more focused and I felt I took on board a lot more of the discussions I had with my fellow class mates.

For my final tweaks I've added in shadows to show depth on the cover, and also the all important eyes of the Wild Wood. These final changes have given me a great sense of achievement and I feel I've suceded in creating an eye catching and effective design.
