we were told to create a cover for an already existing book.
the class was original asked to do a cover for 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest'. but was told that we could create one for a different book if we wished.
i chose to do a different book and in stead of 'one flew over the cuckoo's nest' i chose to create one for 'Maximum ride' by James Patterson.
i thought it would be best to start with the first book of the series
so i looked at the already existing book cover for help
there were several but i preferred this one out of all the other's
for my front cover i wanted to make it relevant to the story. i have read the series and the book is based on the adventure of 6 children that were geneticly infused with avian/bird DNA before birth by an organisation named 'the school'. they are kept at 'the school' for most of their lives. a scientist named 'Jeb' saves the 6 main characters and lets them live in peace. though he goes missing. the 6 children are faced by erasers ;wolf human hybrids, that try to kill them. in the first book they try to save one of their 'flock'. (the main character max names her and the rest of the 6 main characters the 'flock') whilst also searching for any information they can find on their parents
i decided that since max was the most important main character, i wanted to put her on the front cover
but as a silhouette rather then seeing her face
i put a sky in the background to try and represent the freedom that they achieve in the book
