Book Design Research
Planning work to conclude my final A-level project.
These last trials and experiments here use pages from my source work, The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon, and alter them using the multiple techniques explored in my research work, such as ink, watercolour, fine liner, layering, wet-on-wet techniques, and more.
