What I think makes a good children's book cover/illustration:
- Appropriate use of colour
- Bold, varied and full of movement
- Identifiable characters/establishes character
- Universal appeal
- Strong/unique concept - Establishes setting/mood of story
Children's book illustrations that really caught my eye:
I love how these illustrations (below) have a 3 Dimensional feel to them - possibly photographed cut paper sets - I love the natural lighting. From my trip to Waterstones a couple of days ago to browse through some children's books (as you do), I've noticed that there aren't a lot of book illustrations that are made like this, its different to the book illustrations that you see nowadays which makes it so refreshing to look at and it stands out a lot more for me than the other ones that I have seen. From the images I have gathered so far, I have not seen an Alice book cover thats been made in this way, maybe this is something I could do?
