Children's Book Analysis

I analysised the children's book: "Portside Pirates" by Debbie Harter.

This book was a really good example of how important text and font is to a book. By encorporating the titles into the pirate ship illustration, the name of the book became as much of the picture as the actual illustration was.

This caused me to think about how I could then use font in a way on my final design so that it becomes out of the ordinary, and represents the story well.

Furthermore, the use of bright colours and strong images cemented the fact to me that I had to make mine as bright as possible, because the last thing I would want my cover to be was boring.

I also added string to link my points to the icture as a way of relating it to the pirate ship theme and just as a way to make it seem more interesting.
