I found this video where Penguin Random House design studios talk about the way they work and how they approach book covers, this was really great to watch in preparation for my Folio society style illustrations for American Gods. In particular one part of the interview really stood out to me and that was when they were talking about how they should never show the characters in full as a big way the audience connect with a book is through the way they imagine the characters, This has really stuck with me and is something I definitely want to use and incorporate into my ideas from this brief. It will also force me to not be so reliant on characters and try to set the scene in a different way.
