The Virgin Suicide Back Cover..
Watercolour & Ink on Stonehenge paper + digital manipulation
First of all, i loved working with watercolour on stonehenge paper...
i was inspired by Jessie M. King for this piece (<3<3<3)
I really wanted to use her worn out colours for this project
but when i painted this it at first, the colours were too saturated
despite my effort to tone them down
so i had to do some adjustments on photoshop to achieve this.
I also did front cover and spine for this book as well
however i didn't feel like putting those up..............
I am scared to show this to my prof since she doesn't seem to like anything i do (T_T)
but i thought this image itself was 'okay' to look at (apart from concept)
The front cover is an illustration of floral hanging rope(?)
so it is kind of related to this image where the girl is pulling floral rope.
My peers suggested the rope should be tight
but i just made it loose and flowy(?) just for the look of this.
and i am scared that everyone might say crap about it T_T
but then i thought
Who would actually give a shit about concept of a book 'cover' -_-
I never think about what the 'cover' means when i buy a book!
It's all good as long as the cover looks attractive no matter what it is about...
actually, this is my honest opinion on most of illustrations..
people will read the article instead of trying to figure out what the illustration means.
pretty illustrations draw people's attention more than crappy ones with good concept.
sadly, most people aren't smart enough to get the idea behind things...
or maybe they just don't bother thinking about it at all.
(except for us...)
honestly when it comes to concept, i have completely lost confidence
(in illustration 4 course only)
i used to talk my profs into approving my favourite ideas
but in this class i am extremely terrified of my prof and i can't even talk properly...
Anyway...
If anyone says shit about my work tomorrow, i really want to tell them
'don't judge a book by its cover'
LOL
