The Last part of the brief is to produce a cover for two booklets one for Historic Wartime and one for Historic Buildings, it asks them to be kept fairly abstract and pattern based.
For the historic wartime cover i decided to use a pattern with poppies, in my wind in the willows work, i created flowers by pressing ink between to sheets of paper and i really liked the technique and the result it gave so i used this technique for the poppies.

I did a few tests and this was the one i decided to use to create the cover.
The covers are going to be folded to A5 so i had to take this into account when deciding how i wanted to the layout to be. I repeated the pattern and had them go from large to small and made the poppies fade out as they got smaller, At first i had it on a white background but felt it was a bit flat, so i tried it with a brush stoke background and i think that works better, but i am going to try it with a few different backgrounds.
