So I have gone with the flip knife as the illustration as that is something that comes up a lot in the story and is something that really changes the story after the stabbing at the fountain. The red I like but it gives the cover a horror genre look. I am very happy with the font though I think it fits the book perfectly.
The gold dagger stand for the quote in the movie 'stay gold pony boy, stay gold. The seven daggers represents the seven members of the greasers gang. The poster is still missing something though. I know for a fact that the red is a colour too bloody and horror like. This book is aimed at children so I think its time to think about the design in terms of my audience! I think a blue would look nice as that would represent the water fountain which is a major part of the book .
I like this example above, this flip knives have been pushed closer together and the colour I feel it more interesting.
I like this one above, But I'm worried about the cover not being suitable for children? Personally I feel the cover reflects the book quite well!
Still can't decided on a design. I am going to take two of these forward and work into them. I keep on liking these covers and then hating them again. I'm starting to feel like going back to previous designs but I'm not sure! Tomorrow I will be screenprinting so I think it is important I get this design wrapped up today.
