After my previous research I have decided that I am most interested in book cover designs and I think there are a variety of topics I can chose from. I like the idea of comparing different children's book covers. Researching children's illustration will allow be to be invested in what I writing about mainly because thats what I aspire to be able to illustrate in the future. I could compare how children's book covers have developed from when fables began(15th century), to Grimm fairytales (19th century) to the present day children's illustration. I also have another idea where I could also analyse how different art movements might have inspired book illustrators in general eg Bauhaus, art deco etc. Another idea I have is how the colour palette artists use in children's book illustration makes the audience more inclined to purchase.
