Film and Book cover research


 Book Covers


When looking at "Disney book covers", I wanted to find a variety of techniques including digitally as well as hand drawn covers. I really like the , Jungle Book, cover as it overlays multiple leaves in a variety of bright colours, this is eye catching but also leads your eye to the title as it contrasts the background.
The Mary Poppins, hand drawn style cover is very interesting as i like the natural art texture it gives off, I also like the use of colour as it isn't too bright but still catches your eye and makes it look like a family friendly book.
Alice in Wonderland includes mainly typography in the style of the rabbit hole, this gives the audience  tripped out feeling, it makes you think your looking into the rabbit hole itself.
As Old as Time, is digitally made and uses a lot of dark colours such as black and red, this contrasts against the bright blue text and the rose at the bottom of the cover.



 Film Posters


 When researching "Disney posters" I wanted to look at different digital styles as I found a lot of hand drawn book covers. My favourite piece is, The Little Mermaid, as it is very simplistic yet works really well and has kept the original font. My least favourite is ,Ratatouille, as it doesn't have much colour and has and old effect on it which I don't think is very effective.



Looking at all these Film posters and book covers has helped me see what kind of style i want to work with and the materials I want to use. I want to make sure my illustrations in my book is the same style and material as my cover.

Dominic Murphy Artist Research

Dominic Murphy is a British artist who works in a very gruesome and dark art way. Lots of his work is based around Alice in wonderland. I like how he uses a lot of colour but in a monotone kind of sense, making the piece look more gruesome and horrible. All his artwork is very realistic which works well in his favour as it adds more of a weird and creepy aspect to the work. It has inspired me to use colour but in a neutral and with a low saturation through out the book.

Original stories Dinsey used to base their movies off

Lots of Disney films are based off Original books that are changed to be more compatible with their child audience. The original stories are quite gruesome and horrid, I want to make a Illustrated piece to show people that not all stories begin happy. Snow White: Evil Queen eats the lungs and liver , believing them to be Snow White's The Prince finds Snow White in her glass coffin and takes her to his castle, when one of the carriers trips , causing the poised apple to get dislodged awakening Snow White. The Prince and Snow White get married and force the Evil Queen to wear burning hot iron shoes and dance until she drops dead. Rapunzel: The Prince visits Rapunzel that often she becomes pregnant with twins. The witch sees Rapunzel's baby bump, she cuts off her hair and banishes her to the wilderness , the witch lures the Prince into the tower using Rapunzel's hair. When the prince sees the witch and hears how he will never see Rapunzel again he jumps out the wi

Adbusters Research

 Adbusters is a website that fights consumerism brands/people using powerful posters that have a strong meaning/story for the audience. Adbuster shows consumers how bad company's are to the environment and to them. My favourite image is of a baby being breast fed and the mother having a burger painted on her boob, this is very inspiring as it shows that any bad greasy food the mother eats so does the baby, this poster is meant to open women's eyes up to being careful of what they eat when pregnant. This has inspire me to try and develop a certain logo and change it into something bad they do; Pepsi logo being turned into an obese person as there is a lot of sugar and calories in them.
