I was torn between these two covers for The Bloody Chamber competition by Folio Society/ House of Illustration. The folio Society use a lot of traditional techniques, therefore I chose to work with screen printing and lino cutting. I thought that the first one would make a great lining and that the second would be the design I would end up using. However at the last minute I decided to enter the first as my cover design as it seemed the bloodier of the two. I felt that the colours in the second were too friendly and the design was too neat. Although I loved the lock and wished I had incorporated it into the lino cut.

About louwyart
My name is Louise Wyatt and I am currently in my 3rd year of studying illustration at The Arts University Collage at Bournemouth.
I am continually exploring the wild frontier of illustration along with developing my skills within a range of art subjects such as textiles, animation, 3D sculpture and teaching art itself. I have had many opportunities to collaborate with other illustrators as well as working with clients within acting, costume and fashion.
I am always on the look out for areas in the industry, such as advertising, fashion and narrative illustration,where my artwork can represent, interpret, and heighten the meaning of the subject to the best of my ability.
