Found this illustration on google arts and culture and I really like the use of colour and bold shapes. It’s a really well and cleverly explored illustration and I might use this book illustration as inspiration for my book cover of the novel ‘The Uninhabitable Earth’. I feel like this kind of illustration would resonate with the style required for Penguin Book covers as its bold and clever and I feel like the colours would resonate with a reader from across the room. However, for the book although the subject matter is relevant I feel as though the colour scheme might not be quite as relevant as the book is non- fiction. Due to this the book features heavy subject matter which would not match with such a light hearted book cover. On the other hand I feel as though this could potentially work in my animation which can afford to be more light hearted.
It also makes me contemplate whether I could do my own kind of version of this. Mine will be more heavily involved with the Arctic so it could be “The Frozen World”.
Mine could also feature the multiple aspects of global warming that are discussed in the book 'The Uninhabitable Earth'. Such as, flooding, fires, freezing and famine.
This is a short giff also inspired by the novel 'The Drowned World' which is really good inspiration for my animation. Its interesting to see the multiple different ways that I can explore the impact of global warming and how the climate will be changed as a result of our actions.
Additionally, I think one good way to explore my animation initially will be to create it in a sequence of gifs and then put them together. Especially if I am limited to procreate because of the pandemic restricting our access to workshops.
