Unit Brief

The publishing house and rights owner of Little Red Riding Hood has contacted me and requested I make a new book cover for the novel Charles Perrault created. They has requested that this be of a darker more intense theme than previous versions which have been created and that I use a limited colour pallet for a more scary looking effect.

They have requested that I take the following things into account when creating the book cover, this will aid me with the planning and creation of the actual product. They wish for me to take into consideration the materials in which I will use, and also the audience the product will be aimed at.

Materials - For materials they wish me to try and stick with traditional materials although some digital input will be appreciated. For traditional materials to be used hand drawn designs have been requested, this will help in the original feel of the book and also make it look more original. As for the digital aspect of the cover they've requested that the colouring process be done digitally to give a more unique, modern feel. Therefore these two aspects can be contrasting with the traditional and modern techniques.

Audience - As for audience It was requested that the audience for my product be more appropriate for the elder generation of children / teenagers. Specifically making the front cover look more dark schemed to match the original tale of Little Red Riding Hood, instead of the more young child friendly that is produced.
