Cover Paragraph Design Description Here
== The original genre of this was an informative news story and I transformed it into a children's book that teaches about diversity and how we can all be friends regardless if we are an elephant or dog. This story narrates how Bella (dog) and an Tara (elephant) are best friends, but when disaster strikes Bella is hurt. The elephant nurses her back to health proving that she is not and ordinary elephant. My cover shows a cartoon picture of Tara with many contrasting bright colors, such as purple, lime green and neon blue. The size is large and the composition is paints. I made this illustration on Tux-Paint. The setting is a amped up cartoon version of the reserve that the story takes place in also know as the setting. I used alignment by centering Tara this shows the audience that she is the focus of the cover. I used all the bright hues to make the book appeal to many young children and so Tara, the focus of the cover, will contrast from the rest of the piece. I used repetition by repeating the flowers throughout the piece to give it consistency and fluency. I used proximity by making sure that every part of the paper was filled with an equal amount of flowers not too much not to little. ==
