Sketches :
S
ketches were first done by hand, then I moved to digital after deciding which versions I want to see finalized. For my sketches I wanted to create minimalist design and illustrations to match the concept of modern times. At first, I had sketched that had elements of everyday life technologies incorporated into the cover, but then I went with a more simplified version of technologies. Like the pin and the chatting bubbles.

Book Design :
C
olors for the book were inspired by the title of the book. For the Secret Garden the green color was used and A Little Princess the light pink was used. The texts are white color to give a feeling of cleanliness and simplicity in the minimalist, modernist cover. The book is a dust book cover to include information about the series and the author in each flap. The hardcovers are reversed. White and colored text, simple without images. Since it is underneath the dust cover, I wanted the hard cover to be simple.
