The next illustration project is related to the first. You did such a great job illustrating the cover of the novel The Ball, the publisher has asked you to do a re-design and illustration of Alice Sebold’a first book, The Lovely Bones. That book was a best seller and made into a movie.

The publisher wants the book re-designed in the spirit and style of your first book cover, re-positioning the story in past reader’s eyes as well as introducing it to new readers who enjoyed The Ball, but may not be aware of The Lovely Bones. If this second illustration is as successful as the first, then all of Alice Sebold’s book covers will be re-designed and illustrated by you.
We will follow a similar illustration methodology as the first project.
The due dates for each phase of this illustration project are as follows, with the final cover illustration due Tuesday, October 3rd. All project items due, as well as their due dates, are indicated in red.
Please be prepared to work on your illustration in-class during reviews and discussions.
