JULY CONTEST: Design a book cover for the Wizard of Oz

[Jeannelle]

@DKRyland I love this! Very strong graphic shapes.

[Coley]

@Johanna-Kim I love this! What a world you created!

I tried to imagine why someone would hire me for this book cover project and decided they would come to me to apply my style to this subject matter. So it ended up being a bit more retro-graphic and adult market than some of the others. I tried to imagined the book on display in a bookstore and what would draw me to it.

@fpichel I realize this is late, but I only joined SVS after hearing the podcast about the contest Thursday. I made this illustration yesterday, but wasn't able to post it to the forum last night because I wasn't sent an email confirmation email until this morning.
Anyway - great work everyone. Exciting to see so many excellent solutions. Thanks!

@carrieannebrown this is excellent - great type design too.

@Gaelle-Grizzly I really enjoy your character designs, especially the scarecrow! The color and light in this piece is really effective.

Great job everyone!

@ajillustrates Thank you so much! It makes it a bit less Wizard of Oz, but I had fun experimenting with it.

[carrieannebrown]

@aprilshin this is incredibly beautiful

[Johanna Kim]

@Alicia-S Thanks Chip for your tech help!

@Ryan-Ehr - this would be a perfect book cover for this story. The zig-zag design is fantastic as it takes your eyes down through all the characters. Awesome.
