GoodRaven, a tale of love and witchcraft, based around 'The Witches of Salem'. The first book cover illustration was designed around the art directors instructions, including the use of five black candles in a candle holder. Using this for guidance, the brief for the second design allowed me free reign. Music to my ears! I chose to use rich, dark colours set behind the burning glow of the candle's flame to reflect the darkness and fear within the storyline. An innocent looking hand reaches out to extinguish the light as easily as the lives of the witches were taken away.
This was a great project to brush up on my Photoshop skills, using a combination of digital photography and mixed media.
