Indie Practices: Stage 1

Brief: taking a theme (boats) and using it as a starting point to design a product (notebooks). 

I chose to begin with a subject approach and did some research into the character of Nancy Blackett. 
She is a creation of Arthur Ransome in his children's book series named Swallows and Amazons. 
I experimented with different techniques at first but they didn't really work so i chose to create a notebook cover digitally from hand drawn elements. 
I tried to keep the nautical theme alive within this project and think i definitely succeeded! I am really happy with the packaging and the notebooks themselves, though a little bit thin, feel like they reflect the theme quite well.
