I want to base the redesign of TKAMB (to kill a mockingbird) On simplicity.
My first draft of the design was too simplistic and I felt it needed something more to make the cover design a little more appealing and appropriate to the story.
As I was focusing on the symbols of the tree and the mockingbird (the mockingbird which I already had), I thought on how else I might apply a more nature/tree vibe to the design.
I knew that there was a lot of empty space on the cover design so I began thinking about texture layers, which if applied can make a nice base to build a design from.
From this I googled different tree textures, mostly bark and similar textures as they are the most interesting to look at.
I favoured more towards the lighter and white shades of bark because I felt that using a lighter shade would make it easier to view the layers of design over the top of the texture base layer.
