Cover, Spine and Rear

The cover I didn't want to be particularly flashy or special in anyway. This seemed to suit the poem quite nicely. I felt as it is a poem about tenement living in Glasgow during the 60's/70's, a time and type of living, famously not that flash for Glasgow that it would be better to design a cover that reflected that of the poems words. On the front cover the illustration for 'Big Aggie' is different to that inside the book. This is because I had planned to replace the image of Big Aggie in the book with the drawing above, which is of my 'Big Gran', she always seemed a bit fit for the role. Although on page 1 of the book I went ahead and fully coloured the original drawing I had made for Big Aggie, therefore it seemed a bit much work to replace. I'm not to dissapointed about this as it does just create another layer to the design process.
