The iPad sketch I made while discussing the brief with a head designer and publisher. The idea was to create a map or globe which incorporates the countries discussed within the content and also linking to each books title.

The first of the five artworks for Years 1 - 2 children. The brief was for this cover to reflect the early years age group. I created a globe with very soft rounded edges indicating the diversity of landscapes on our planet.

This is the updated 2nd cover for Year 3 children. The brief was to keep the identity of the first cover but have a more structured, detailed image to reflect older children able to study more detailed images. Also recogniseable landmarks were added.

The third in the series of covers. A bit of Jamaica, Germany, Northern Oreland, and the United Arab Emirates (The Burj Al Arab Hotel). A lot of water in this one. Rivers, stremas flowing down to the sea.

The fourth in the series of five covers. this title covers: pollution, wearing away the land, the seasons, cities, transport links, seas and oceans, Wales, greece and Brazil.

And [phew] finally the fifth cover. Exhausting to do but probably the most satisfying artwork I've been commissioned to do.

Each cover reflected the content and places of the world discussed with each title.

... and the final artworks in cover.
