AOB 2 - Production Diary 9/11/09

During the past two weeks, I have been starting to create the front cover of the graphic novel, I have had to consider different textures, due to it being in the style of a notebook, for example using tea stains, and ripped textures, also, using mixed media, with drawn images and photographs.
I found it difficult to find the correct colour for the notebook, without it looking too dull, because it will need to stand out to the target audience, for them to be interested to buy it.

Today i have been creating the general outline for the inside pages, because the front cover is in the style of a notebook, i decided to make the inside like a notebook too, by scanning in an exercise book, which has been crumpled a little and dirtied to make it look used.
i then copied an image of a spiral bound, so that it looks more like a notebook.
