Progress
1. First I created some thumbnails of general ideas I had in
my head, I created as many as I could for each idea I had
as I didnʼt want to leave anything out incase I wanted to
come back to it at another time and use some aspects
from it in my final design. as you can see from my
thumbnails I had a very wide variety of ideas I put down,
from simple ideas to much more complex ideas.
I chose green and
brown colours for her
skin as to make her
seem more ʻforestyʼ, I
wanted her to be part
of the forest rather
than just within it and
the idea of changing
her skin colour I think
worked really well.
I selected two of my thumbnails
which I liked the most out all the rest, I
then created two draft version of these designs
based on changes I wanted to make, the fire
one I didnʼt change that much as I was happy
with the way it was already, though the green
one I changed a lot, I decided to give it a forest
feel, if you look at my first thumbnail page and
at the first thumbnail, you can see that I used
many aspects from this idea, such as the way I
did the shadowing and highlights on her face, it
is very abstract and different, I also gave it a
new background which i drew with a small hard brush and I drew
some leafs to try create a forest
feel.
After spending some time working
on my design I had added and
taken away many things, for
instance I changed the colour of
her face from a bluey green to a
much more solid green, I also the
leafs below Jennifer and the tree
in the background which I decided
on being green as I thought it
Now that I have decided on my design I started work
suited the theme more and was
on my final design, I started by redrawing Jennifer and
more abstract and stood out. I
using different colours for her face, trying to use a
added her bow and arrow at the
forest colour pallet I tried to pick the best colours for the top right to try build up character a bit more and I also added the
shadows, mid-tones and highlights of her face, as you Hunger Games logo, I felt like the design is now starting to take
can see my design I have here is almost completely
shape into what I want it to be. I was trying to keep a simple colour
different from the draft, I chose to use lighter colours
pallet, I did this by writing down the colour codes of all the colours
and I used a much bigger brush on creating the

design, effectively keeping it a simple design.
Once I showed my two draft
designs to the art director I got
very good constructive
feedback from him, after getting
feedback from him I decided to
go on this design as I feel I
could create a much more
interesting design out of this
one than the other as I didnʼt
feel as if I could have built that
one up anymore than I had
already done, with this design I
felt like I could do a lot more.
I started by recreating the whole design and redrawing it
all into a better style I liked, giving it a background similar
to the fire one, this aspect I was inspired by my fire
design to do, by using a big soft brush set to a low
opacity I constructed it from different shades of green.
I added many more forest
elements to my design to
try create more depth
and to also make it stand
out more, I added the
flowers to make it more
interesting and I moved
the bow and arrow closer
to the bottom right, I
added some branches for
style at the top corners, I
also repositioned the
leafs for greater effect
and chose new colours for the Hunger Games logo.
The feedback I got from the art director really helped me
in creating my final design, I utilized the feedback the best
I could to take full advantage of the professional feedback
to further develop my idea into what I had in my head.
The font at the bottom of the cover I created myself as I
felt like the normal stock fonts just didnʼt fit the design so I
drew it myself which really does fit in with the theme of the
cover and makes it a lot more interesting and also makes
it look as if more care has been put into my cover and
also it looks more ʻrealʼ and less like it was just made with
a computer. Overall I am very happy with all the progress I
made with the cover and I am happy with the final design.
