Inkworld

While doing research his style, I found that he liked to be quite playful and fun, and he did logos that were quite literal (ex: the IBM logo), and then I saw his works for children’s books and I really loved how those looked. So I kind of did a little combination of those things.

My favorite author is Cornelia Funke and my favorite book series is her Inkworld Trilogy.

The Inkworld Trilogy consists of Inkheart, Inkspell, and Inkdeath. I thought that would work perfectly with Rand’s way of making images into pictures. I made a heart, spell book, and a skull and I made it look like they were splattered with ink to represent each book title. Also, the colors I put underneath each image correspond with the color of the book covers *in the US*. I’m required to have text in my posters, so I added Funke’s name, still giving it that childish/collagey feel to it.

I am getting more and more comfortable with Illustrator with each poster that we do. I thought I was going to hate this whole poster project but I am actually enjoying it. Unfortunately this may be our last poster, I am not too sure yet.
