Judge a book by it’s cover (Process)

New brief:

Design, illustrate and produce a new cover jacket for a book loaned out from the library which visually communicates the content of the book.

'Taxidermy Art'

This is the book that I chose

Why?

-The colour of its cover is very eye-catching.

-I like the idea of taxidermy art, it's like giving a second life to a dead creature. I like this kind of darkly  beauty of it. Sometimes funny, sometimes horrifying. (Some of the works freaked me out a little bit...)

Ideas:

In my opinion, taxidermy art is like to give a second life to dead creature and keep their natural beautiful bodies.

This is the first idea that I had.

Here I drew Lycorisradiata (Equinox flower) around this bird, Lycorisradiata is also called 'flower on the other shore', represent death.

A very clear and direct idea of taxidermy. Dead bird and stuffed bird.

More ideas about dead bird (left) and giving dead bird a second life(right).

Don't like this one, too boring.
