Project 2 The Great Gatsby



For this project I decided to go with The Great Gatsby. I used the blob brush with the entire project. I wanted to go with a sketchy kind of look. The very first book cover is my interpretation of the book. It's really simple depiction of Gatsby and Daisy.
The second is a children's book. In the book Gatsby is trying to win over Daisy with his grand parties and fortune. Gatsby is a magician for everything is an illusion. So I decided to make the characters hide behind costumes. Daisy is a lady bug and Gatsby is an magician.
The third design is a mystery book. I wanted to hide Gatsby's identity so I left him as a silhouette. He is smoking a pipe and inside the smoke is some things that describe his personality.

  5. I think I really like the mystery the best. I love the ideas coming up out of the smoke(at least that is how I view it). I like the shadowed figure and the color choices of all three book covers. Good job.

  9. The mystery book really fits the genre well. I like the silhouette idea because it leaves you in wonder, but then the smoke sort of gives you clues.

  11. I like the simplicity of the the first cover and how you drew the title out by hand and the sketchy flowers at the top are a nice touch. The characters you drew in the second cover are very cute :)

  15. While I see its good work, and well, done, and it does fit into the books. I am however not a fan, but thats a personal preference. I still hold that it is good, and i like the craftsmanship of the third cover in particular. I just feel that they might be pushed a little further, with some extra detail.
