Harry Potter Book Cover

Mood Boards

My mood boards consist of climactic moments in the movies and important objects from the movies and books. I also have a few different movie covers and book covers from the Goblet of Fire specifically. By analyzing these mood boards I got ideas of what to do and what not to do.

First Digital Versions

I moved forward with three of my sketches into digital versions with illustrator. The first book concept has the golden egg on the front. The golden egg was given to the champion of the first Triwizard Tournament game. When the egg is put under water it reveals the hint to the next tournament game. One of the games in the tournament is entirely based underwater, this is why the background of the book is meant to look like water. The second book concept has an image of Voldemort in his weakened state before he is resurrected later in the book. The third concept has an image of the Goblet of Fire which was used to draw names to decide who will participate in the Triwizard Tournament. I chose to move forward with the first design since I thought it was the most visually interesting and eye catching. I think looking at the egg also brings up questions in your mind about what exactly it could be and what its context is in the book.
