Cover ideas

 

Ideas for the cover spread:

After drawing the tower for the text to fit on, I experimented a little with what the rest of the cover would look like. I wanted something on the back cover, and tried out doing multiple multi-coloured towers, but this went against the whole mood of the book and ended up looking like jelly.

I decided I wanted a gradient at the very least (as a black background was too plain), but one that was different colour to the one that was featured in the background of the inner illustrations, so chose a dark purple as this was one of the more successful colours in the earlier experiments.
