Choosing which inner design to work on

Today we put all of our chosen designs on the big table for everyone to see and evaluate. we were given green post it notes and told to stick them on which designs we liked best for inside Olio. Which page they think each person should work more into. I got six stickers on my bird one and one on my whistle one. So this suggests I should work more into the bird one in future.

Trying out a more graphic-y idea for front cover

Olio written as pupils? 12 as nostrils on an owl? owl = symbol of wisdom? Just a rough idea

Ideas for portraits - moving away from drawing people, as I'm finding it so challenging.

I find my eyes my best feature - perhaps I could use this one? Its perfectly representative of my style, it doesn't need a symmetrical twin in the composition and I love the simplicity.



I love pugs, and as I can't use my logo, I tried redrawing a pug. yes it looks like one, but it looks too sad. I love the just plain brown coloring - less is more.  still undecided on this one yet

Another idea for cover - folk tales - story's - mythical beasts - dragons


I like the colors and the idea of Olio being written in the smoke in a way - and I like the simplicity. Could do with tidying up completely and using thinner lines though. I do like this one though

Dolores suggested use a square border instead of the faded edge and use a font for the title that didn't say 'race'
