I want the book cover to really reflect the playful and honest nature of this book. So I have been looking at using some simple motifs - of Adrian's dog, his glasses, spot cream - as well as the cover reflecting that fact that this is a diary - using lined paper for the blurb, a label saying 'property of... Adrian Mole' and maybe a padlock somewhere on the design?
I really like the idea of creating these motifs using monoprint and monotype, as I think this will give a real naive and handmade aesthetic to the book cover. I am also exploring the idea of maybe creating a repeat pattern using these drawings.
