La Chinita Book Covers


I selected 'La Chinita' as the character for my illustration and book cover because it was a tale told many times by adults to children back in Ecuador. To my knowledge, there havent been any printed versions of the story but it is more of a chant rather, and orally passed down. The mood of the book is one of worry and fear as the 'chinita' in the story gets lost in a dark forest. My cover illustrates that because on both covers it displays trees and different views of the forest, one as dark and scary and the other as bright, colorful, yet forgotten. I chose a different font for each cover because the illustration varies. The font in each covers pops out to the reader as mysterious perhaps yet simple.
