Initial Ideas for next Brief

The next brief which we have been given gives us the opportunity to design one of three book covers for Penguin Books. The selection is: In Cold Blood, To Kill A Mocking Bird or The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4. There is a variation of books, a fiction book, adult non-fiction and a children's book. I think that i am going to attempt to design the cover for the childrens book as it interests me and the possibilities are a lot more broad.

In today's session with Rob we 'mind-mapped' a range of different ideas. In the centre of the page was the central idea and around it situated a number of different visual thumbnails, sketches and key words and phrases. Once we had done this we then looked at transforming the idea, which meant that we had to invert one element (either the design, movement, theme, structure or audience to name a few examples) and then explore the new outcome. Once this was done we then transformed the next outcome to create a number of different ideas which were just developments of the initial idea which we had come up with.
