My Health teacher had us create a poster for a book we read...I would tell you what happened but that would spoil it! It's about a girl named Melinda who has a horrible past... http://katsquatch.deviantart.com/art/SPEAK-69239239 Read the description, and tell me what you think (here and there would be great though xD ) I drew it with soft pastels and my mom spazzed when I got some on my bedroom carpet lol
I love the distinction between the two sides, the light and happiness of the one side, contrasting with the darkness on the other. It definitely serves its purpose of bringing the viewer to want to read the book. The blue eye looks very sad, which emphasises the "despair" writen above it. There is one criticism I would make though, at first glance, the snake looks like it could be her mouth, though once you look closer it is clear that it isn't ^^ so it isn't a major thing. I also LOVED the small handprint xD that's a really nice touch. Good work KK <3
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I think the mouth on the right may have been too light to be easily noticable. Maybe that's why you thought the mouth was the snake (I was like "oO" when you mentioned that lol)
It's alright, though I don't think you've quite captured the true meaning of the book: "To Heal". Really the whole book is Melinda's recovery from her traumatic experience. Also, you spelled "Speak" and "Hurts" wrong. You wrote "Spear" and "Hurst".
Yeah I realized that before I turned it in, so I fixed the words so they were spelled right. You're right, I've never actually thought about the books meaning to be "To Heal." Thanks ^^
