Book cover:
Being a more recent play compared to the others available to select from, I wanted to keep the art direction in a similar style. (post war, modern, minimal). Found an excellent book in the library of soviet era poster art, some samples below:
Also looked at some western film poster designs spanning the decades to help get an idea of element placement

Refining Perspective Drawings
Wanted to revisit the perspective drawings, as the colour pallets used weren't quite right. Want to play with colour using software.
Typography 101
Don't have a lot of past experience hand drawing fonts (which became evident on the thumbnail visuals). Goal is to try experimenting drawing different font types (serif, non-serif, display).
Using the Right Medium
When thumbnailing, it become apparent that the medium chose (magic markers) were preventing me from getting finer detail into the visuals, In the next project, I changed from using all-pro marker to a mixture of different pens (fine liner, calligraphy, pro marker) at the development stage. This greatly increased the clarity of the visuals. To view, tap the button below:
