PROJECT :  i was writing a story a short one indeed and i thought of turning it into a Graphic Novel later . So i took up the project to design the cover of the Graphic novel Book . My basic plan was to make  realistic movie like poster in the cover and graphic art inside . So i had to make an artwork properly based on the story and specially the theme . Another thing that should be kept in mind is that story or graphic novel was a bit A rated . the rules i made was simple . Artwork should be Clean .Simple one main body should be there and No extreme contrasting color . . 

INFLUENCE AND REFERENCE : I am big fan of Punk and cult films and so as i was thinking what exactly to make in the poster . suddenly a movie book cover came into my mind the art work caught my eye big time a long back  THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO  by Stieg Larsson. The book cover really caught my eye . 

MY WORK ;  So at first i thought of taking a real life image of a girls back but its difficult to find model confident enough to do a shoot so eventually i had to take reference and make the main body. then editing it . Now my novel was actually a bit punk oriented and the main character had  a Tattoo on back as it was street style based .  so now i can not give complicated tattoo art so i chose a simple one and gave and My Location was in New York . so giving a look of the city minimizing it down. so eventually the main body was on focus the poster was clean and simple and it has lots of space to breathe
