Round 1
integration of type into image and a relationship between two symbols in story (interaction in Barn Burning is weakest)
Direct reference to title of stories
Ideas in story expressed through hands gestures
Separation of the object of a character from hands. The hands represent the main community and the items represent the characters in the story with ideas or perspectives that aren't clear or are seen as austere to the community
Circular forms in background juxtaposed with symbols of destruction
Round 2
Objects act as symbols for the people views that are looked over or not seen by the rest of the community. Continuation on hand reaching idea from round 1. People walk past or away from these discarded objects to show that they are looked over.
Using hands to express emotions, and paired with symbols from the story
Circular motif objects paired with symbols from story
My chosen direction will be the circular one. If I feel up to it I might try some ideas with the people walking by. I felt like the conceptual idea in the passerby set was stronger but the circular motifs created a more interesting composition through juxtaposition. Some brainstorming will be carried out to come up with pairs of objects in each cover design. The goal is to juxtapose an object of destruction in the stories with a key circular object in the story. The circle will act as a formal motif and the object begins to add a conceptual flavor to the design.
