Wind in the Willows.

Last month I was tearing my hair out over a book cover for Kenneth Grahams' Wind in the Willows. I'm still nowhere near over the moon with it but I like the idea and it was a really important learning curve in regards to the work Ive produced since. 

The idea was that the cover would fold out into a map of Toads landscape allowing young children to enter the world more fully and speculate the future plot.  I was focused on creating the magic feeling you get as a kid spending hours studying the maps within books.

I'm currently designing a cover of Kenneth Grahames' The Wind in the Willows so here's some lovely colour inspiration.
