Final Piece - Front & Back Cover
Below is my final piece for my front and back cover. This page was created to be the cover for my illustrated lyric book. As you can see to follow suit with my influenced work by Edward Gorey and John Kenn, I have made my front and back cover a monochromatic colour scheme, with a hint of red hues.
Final Piece - Ten Thousand Fists
Below is my final piece for the song " Ten Thousand Fists " This page is apart of a double page spread which consists of another set of song lyrics. In the Disturbed song previous planning allowed me to choose the best section of lyrics for this illustration. The idea I chose for this section of lyrics was a plague doctor and other humans being hidden from the outside world and the 'plague' which follow it but also following suit and following each other and being united.
Final Piece - Youth Of The Nation
Below is my final piece for the song " Youth Of The Nation " This page is apart of a double page spread which consists of another set of song lyrics. In the P.O.D song previous planning allowed me to choose the best section of lyrics for this illustration. The idea I chose for this section of lyrics was a young person with a shadow behind them ( almost a devil of himself or a shadow ). That shadow is acting upon what the young person is thinking but not doing.
The lyrics were taken and interoperated in my own view, but I also did research on why the band wrote this song. It was in fact due to a shooting at a school in American and it was from this I got my idea. Finally this relation to the lyrics and their meaning, joint with the meaning behind the illustration idea, gave the lyrics a more pragmatic meaning, yet with a twisted mix.
Final Piece - Count Bodies Like Sheep
Below is my final piece for the song " Count Bodies Like Sheep " This page is apart of a double page spread which consists of another set of song lyrics. In the Perfect Circle song previous planning allowed me to choose the best section of lyrics for this illustration. The idea I chose for this section of lyrics was a ram and a sheep standing outside a window whilst a young girl stands inside, I also gave it a poetic twist. Using a monochromatic colour scheme for all of my illustration apart form the 'blood' splatters, it gave a stylized look to my illustration.
The lyrics " Don't fret precious I'm here, step away from the window Go back to sleep " were taken and it was from this I chose the idea for my illustration. The idea was for there there to be a young girl standing in a window whilst these 'demons' told her to go back to sleep. It also played on the idea that you're safe at home but outside in the vase world there are many scary creatures, this lends itself to my brief. Finally this relation to the lyrics and their meaning, joint with the meaning behind the illustration idea, and gave the lyrics an interesting yet twisted meaning.

Final Piece - Dance With The Devil
Below is my final piece for the song " Dance With The Devil " This page is apart of a double page spread which consists of another set of song lyrics. In the Breaking Benjamin song which can be found here, previous planning allowed me to choose the best section of lyrics for this illustration. The idea I chose for this section of lyrics was based on a prey and predator theme, and gave it a poetic twist. Using a monochromatic colour scheme for all of my illustration apart form the 'blood' drips, it gave a stylized look to my illustration. This stylization added to the course brief I was given, that being Truth, Fantasy and Fiction.
The fiction and truth brief came through with the lyrics and the illustration I did. The lyrics being " Say goodbye as you dance with the devil tonight " This initially gave a dark and twisted meaning to the lyrics when I illustrated a hare dancing with a fox. Finally this relation to the lyrics and their meaning, joint with the meaning behind the illustration idea, and gave the lyrics an interesting yet twisted meaning.
