For my book cover I wanted to include things in the Secret diary of Adrian mole that particularly stood out to me. At one point in the book, Adrian recalls the royal wedding between prince Charles and Diana. This reminded me of the excitement surrounding the most recent royal wedding and I wanted to incorporate this through the use of the colours of the Union Jack and imagery of bunting. In my opinion, one of the dominant themes in the book is how a person develops relationships and their perception of them as they get older. I therefore used multiple overlapping circles to signify this and filled these with the colours of the Union Jack. I particularly related to the scenes including his dog and, even though he sometimes finds it a nuisance, he really does care for it. I therefore edited a picture of my own dog, and played with the layers on photoshop to add white to the blues and reds of the Union Jack in the circles. I also continued this theme by adding paw prints walking across the front, spine and back cover.
I am not that happy with this outcome so over reading week I might removed the dog picture and replace it with another image perhaps representing something more to the theme of building relationships.
