front cover

I wanted my front cover to be related to all the visits I made to fish mongers, but not to be a study of a fish. 
So I tried out a line drawing of one of the fish stalls in the market which I think worked well, as it is simple and quite bare but then there is a few flashes of colour from the fish which is what attracted me to them in the first place.

The book was originally going to be called 'scales' but then the illustrations turned out to not just be studies of the scales, but the whole fish.

Also, 'market fish' implies that the fish will be ones from a market; so will be dead, which is what my project is focused on.
