Taking the advice on board I received from David, I decided to look in to protest material to get a better sense of how I could design the Talking Turkeys book cover. The author discusses many topics within his book in poem form and many being about protest and human rights, this will aid myself in the ideation process.
I also looked into the textile materials but specifically Caribbean fabric patterns, as they are known for their bright and adventurous patterns, this creates a sense of individuality amongst them. This was something I was interested about as I could combine both aspects – patters and the turkey to create a Caribbean pattern and this will represent his heritage.
