The Print Task - Planning A Cover!

I decided against drawing a picture, as it would have looked far, far worse than the paint one I did already does. Another reason for ditching the pencil for the computer was the hassle of having to scan the drawing onto the computer so I decided to cut out the "middle man" and here is the finished plan. Beware, it's paint at it's worst!


The First Stage of the Project -

How I Made The Plan

First I decided against just inserting a picture of the College as it wouldn't have fit in with the rest of the ideas, so for complete authenticity I went about "painting" my own, terrible, version of it. Then I added windows, an archway, sky and grass and to finish off I made a stick figure drawing of the person used for the finished cover.

Being a preliminary plan to the project, some ideas weren't used in the end. For example on the plan I went for a decidedly more simplistic font type and layout as a basic setting for the project. However other ideas on the plan were used, which is why doing a plan is always useful and helps to keep your ideas focussed on the task as you're aware of where you're going and what your project is shaping up to be, even if you have to make small adjustments here and there so it resembles what you originally planned in your head, if you were unable to adequately put on to paper exactly what you meant.
