The Magician's Nephew

ok - so i promiced i'd post these up - here we go...

first - the brief.

the basic brief was that a audo books company was doing a CD of a 'classic' novel - we had a choice of novels to chose from (eg: war of the worlds, lotr, emily bronty etc..) or we could could choose our own - i opted to do "the Magician's Nephew" as it was coinciding with the release of teh lion teh witch and teh wardrobe at cinemas atm...

any way - using Adobe Illustrator - a graphics programme for those who dont know - we had to produce 4 images - one for teh fron cover of teh CD case, one for the back, one for the inside/ inlay and one for the CD

for teh image i chose to illustrate what i thought were key scenes in the story...

and so :

i will post the images as they are without, and then with text :)

first: the back cover :

this is where the children (polly and Digory) forst encounter Jadis - she was teh red queen then - rather than the White Witch.

to clarify - she is holding digory by the sholder and tilting his chin up to look at him
polly is, of course afraid.

next : the Inner image - the inlay

this is the scene where straberry, the horse becomes fledge, the pegasis (sp?)

the CD image - this image has no text - so i am providing a full image and a cropped image (what it will look like when it is on a CD)

this image is from teh scene where digory is sent to collect a silver apple to plant a tree that will protect narnia from jadis (cos that worked), and he is tempted by jadis...


Last, but not least, and finally finnished (it took way too long);

Front Cover:

this isnt so much an image taken directly from the book; i wanted to protray the wood in between worlds; it's supposed to be lush and green, so i chose to make it literally green ^^
the hand in the foreground is supposed to be Jadis'.
Im not so happy with how the text turned out on this image, but i didnt want to use colour in the text, as i thought it would somehow drown out the image...

anyway, overall, i'm happy with how this project turned out.

hope tutor likes it.... (i forgot his name again >.< )

more examplars of my work to come! ^^
