Cover Design - Creative Report

I want my creative report to resemble the fox and the star book but to also take inspiration from Coralie's other collections. I want the title to be easy to read in a serif font that looks traditional. Coralie is known for her patterns used on covers after she was inspired by the patterns of William Morris. She uses her patterns as hidden messages for the stories. Looking at the fox and the star cover I want to take elements of the colour but illustrate it myself into a pattern. My pattern will need to be more basic as my book will be a lot smaller. As she likes screen print that is the method I would like to use to create my cover.

I created some initial sketches of what I wanted to include on my cover. I picked some main parts of her story including leaves and a star. I also used a book. I wanted the cover to relate to the boards I created for the inside. I created the cover on illustrator changing the pattern until it worked well with the text. I used the same font as what I used for the inside. I wanted the cover to use a colour that was one of the colours used within the fox and the star which was navy, orange and yellow. The Navy worked best as it was most similar to the fox and the star cover and it felt more traditional for a book.
