When it came to deciding on the graphic style that I wanted to use, I wasn't overly sure as to how I wanted it to look.
The first thing that I did was find out the age that the book is targeted for; to find this out I went on the publisher's (Walker) website. On having a look on the site, I found out that the age for the book is 4+.

After finding this out, I then went on to have a look at existing books for the age group, and I did this on the WH Smith website.

From having a look through the website and at the covers which I have picked out, I found that there wasnʼt that many books which used block colour, but instead used shadows and had a lot of detail in the drawings. This got me thinking about how I wanted my images to look as one of my initial thoughts was that I wanted it block and bright, but having had a look at the drawings on these books Iʼm changing my mind with the style and thinking that I am going with using drop shadow and gradients; to give my images more detail.
