Design 1
This is my first design. It is a basic drawing of an isolated island during sunset.
The colours of the sunset are supposed to imply danger, tension and heat to represent the events within the book.
I have also taken some inspiration from the original cover with the blue snake. I mentioned that the colour blue seemed unusual against the other colours as it represents calm and peace. I have chosen to use it in this design to imply the message about a "calm before the storm" which again relates to events within the book.
The font will be in a hand drawn style and scratchy to represent the unsophistication and madness that happens in the book.
Design 2
This sketch has been designed to be minimalistic. I decided to do this to show the character's situation in the book - that they are out of the civilised world with no luxuries only bare necessities.
The composition of the cover leads the eye straight to the silhouette of the pig's head. In the story the pig's head plays a big role and is a metaphor for their insanity. I used this image to represent the tone of the book.
I have repeated the minimalistic style of the previous design, however this time the cover is even barer.
I have used negative space here to create an unusual composition. This is to represent the strange behaviour and story of the book.
I would use a "no thrills" font that is basic and plain. Although this may seem an odd choice I think it would work well in catching an audience's eye because it is so unbelievably plain. The lack of things on the cover also depicts the character's stranded and isolated situation.

In this cover I have tried to use some metaphors to explain the book and the issues it deals with.
The spanner and the gun are supposed to represent the battle of civilisation vs power that happens in the book.
The background will be scrunched paper which is supposed to represent the change in the characters; from normal civilised boys to "screwed up" and unstable killers.

After looking at some book covers for Of Mice And Men I was inspired to create my own similar design.
I have two ideas for this cover:

After looking at some book covers for Of Mice And Men I was inspired to create my own similar design.
I have two ideas for this cover:
- It would either be a high contrast photograph (like the cover below)
- Or in the soft pastel style
The high contrast looks dramatic and sinister whereas the soft pastel looks simple and has a youthful feel. Both of these styles I feel could work well to represent Lord Of The Flies.
Design 6
This sketch has taken inspiration from the covers of the Twilight book series.
I have used an iconic image from the book (in this case a pair of broken glasses) and surrounded it by black. The black could represent a number of things that relate to the book: evilness, isolation, fear and death.
Hopefully readers would see this unusually normal item and want to find out what makes it special in the book. For people who have begun the book this image could make them feel apprehensive and eager to read on about what is going to happen.
Design 7
This design is supposed to be in the style of a cave painting. The drawn figure would look basic (the idea being that it had been drawn by one of the characters within the story.) I have chosen to do this so that reader's can put themselves in the position so that the contents feel even more shocking and personal. The bright orange colours (that would be a cave wall) would attract attention on the shelf and also represent the dangerous tone of the story.
