What was the theme for the project?
The theme for the project was based on the poem by Roald Dahl, "Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf'. We had to draw key points out of the poem, so we were able to create our book cover.

How have you developed your ideas? How did your work change through the project?
I have developed my ideas by experimenting different ideas for the front on my book cover and then eventually i was able to find the idea i liked and wanted for the front of my book cover. In lesson we also created different drawings by using different techniques that i hadn't used before. By using these different techniques i was able to draw/create images that i would be able to use on my book cover. My work changed throughout the project because my first idea i drew for my front cover i ended up changing because i did i created a drawing of a wolf using charcoal and i thought that it would look more effective for the front of my book cover. By the end of the project my book cover has changed from my first idea i was going to do.

How much reference material did you find? Do you think you should have done more or less?
I found some resources for myself but, for the future projects i will need to find more reference material myself, instead of just using the resources i have been given by my teacher.

What artists or designers have you looked at to help and inspire you?
The artist that i looked at to help me with my ideas was Scott Campbell, we got to create drawing using gouache, by creating these different drawing, it helped me with my ideas for creating different drawings and helping me towards my final book cover.

What materials, tools and techniques did these artists use?
The techniques i got from the artist Scott Campbell was how to use gouache and how to make it look effective. I created a few images using the gouache which i could have used on my book cover but i decided not too.

How have your skills developed during the project?
My skills have improved a lot since i started this project, i have improved my drawing skills and i have learnt many different techniques, such as how to use gouache and using charcoal to create affective drawings. By learning all these  different techniques, it has helped me to create different ideas and inspired me to make my final book cover.

Are there any aspects of your studies that you wish you had explored further?
I wish i had studied the gouache technique more so i could interpret them into my work and also so i could really work on the technique itself.

How have you used formal elements such as line, tone, colour and shape?In my work i have varied the tones, in my work which helped to create my book cover and i have tried to use different elements of work that i had created in lesson and use it on my book cover. I used different techniques that i learnt how to do as well.

What materials did you use, and why? Did they work successfully?The materials that i had used were charcoal, gouache, chalk, pencil and ink, and they all worked successfully and helped develop my ideas.

What meaning and messages did you want to convey and were you successful?I wanted my book cover to go with what the book is actually about and so it linked with the poem that we had read which we created our drawings from the ideas in the poem. The message i wanted to convey is that it is what the title of the book is called which is "The Gruesome Poems of Roald Dahl."

Are you happy with your final piece? Are there any elements you like in particular?Yes, i am happy with my final piece of work which i created and i really like the different text styles which i used on my work,i think they went well with what my book cover looked like and i am happy because i used some of the drawings which i had created in lesson time, using all the techniques which i had learnt.

Is there anything you would change? Why?
I think i would change the back of my cover maybe add in something different to the back of my book cover, which i had created,to make it look more interesting and appealing.
