Photo Shoot Cover Selection
This is my Cover Photo selection photo shoot. I compiled all of the images I had taken for my Magazine Cover and put them all onto a photoshop document, where I could criticize all of them, finding faults until I had narrowed my pictures down to one, which I would use for my magazine Cover.

Questions About Poem Bookcover
What was the theme for the project?
The main theme for the book cover was Roald Dahl's Grisly and Ghastly poem. The poem is a more gruesome
version of Little Riding hood where she figures the wold out and shoots him.
How have you developed your ideas? How did your work change through the project?
My work started off very boring. It had no colour, interesting fonts, or information on the poems and Author. By the end, it had all of these things.
How much reference material did you find? Do you think you should have done more or less?
My book cover didn't have any references on it, other than the obvious reference to Little Red Riding Hood.
I think I should have gathered more reference material to make my drawing better. I didn't really have any idea how to draw Little Red Riding Hood, so that would have helped.
What artists or designers have you looked at to help and inspire you?
I briefly looked at Quintin Blake's illustrations for a lot of Roald Dahl's books that he did. I should have looked at more of his drawings, I like the way he draws things.

What materials, tools and techniques did these artists use?
Quintin Blake draws drafts and first sketches with a pencil, and his illustrations often look very resemblant to water-colour, so I presume that's what he uses.

How have your skills developed during the project?
I learnt how to draw wolves, children and my photoshop skills have monumentally improved. I understand what a few of the commands do and can use several of the tools usefully.

Are there any aspects of your studies that you wish you had explored further?
I wish I had looked better into how to draw huts and shacks. My shack that has the Grandma inside isn't very well drawn, I wish I had drawn it better.
How have you used formal elements such as line, tone, colour and shape?
I used tone with my pencil to create a shadow for the bushes and the log cabin. This makes the log cabin look creepy. Anything related to darkness is evil or creepy to most people. The cabin and it's surroundings are supposed to look creepy, that's where the wolf is.

What materials did you use, and why? Did they work successfully?
The main material I used was a pencil on paper. A pencil is most effective because it can be rubbed out, whereas a pen cannot.

What meaning and messages did you want to convey and were you successful?
I wasn't trying to convey and messages, but I like the idea of a crazy yandere(sweet looking but crazy and murderous inside) Little Red Riding hood.

Are you happy with your final piece? Are there any elements you like in particular?
I am happy with my final piece. I really like the look of the cabin, and the wolf through the window and his shadow.

Is there anything you would change? Why?
I should have included less outside and a better shot of the wolf inside eating the grandma. I would try another angle where I could capture Red's facial expression.
