It was peculiar to see illustration in a gallery environment, as galleries often create the impression that they are reserved for the fine arts.
Of all the examples, I was most interested with Emily Sutton's book cover designs, as they directly relate to the project I am currently developing as part of the Printed Pictures brief.
'Dickens at Christmas' in particular used a window motif to create a seamless image across the covers, which directly relates to one of my own earlier concepts. Emily has used exterior objects to contextualise the window; the snow and mistletoe suggests the Christmas season, while the warm palette balances the austere Victorian architecture.
