The Big Sleep Cover - Silhouettes

I have created 4 possible silhouettes to be used on The Big Sleep book cover that I'm designing, I have photographed myself in appropriate clothing to avoid any copyright infringement.

Each silhouette is in a slightly different pose, I now have to decide which will look best on the cover...

Skills Development

Over the past few months I have learnt a number of skills that have aided me in my recent design projects:

• I have become more adept at Google Sketchup and now feel confident in creating complex models and presenting them using animation techniques.

• I have been experimenting with creating small films as a way to convey design ideas. I have used Windows Movie Maker and iMovie. I find these programs simple and easy to use and I enjoy experimenting with new ideas and processes for making films. 

•  I have recently been using Adobe Illustrator in my latest project. I am currently finding it quite confusing, however I have already picked up a few new skills whilst creating various designs. I feel that I learn best just getting stuck in and trying different techniques when using applications of this type. 

Overall, I am glad with what I have learnt so far and look forward to developing my skills and also learning new ones.
