'you could become the boy in the bubble.'

initial idea and layout 

i decided to draw from a difference reference photograph as i feel this image will allow the figure to be the focal point. 

adam mentioned how he wanted the organ donor card/symbol to be included in my work, so i have draw the logo and will play around with overlaying it in my image/s

though the illustration with the large symbol makes the message more prominent, i wanted the concept of organ donation to be elusive so Adam and his running would be the initial focal point of the illustrations, and only when the viewer connects to Adam as a individual and finds out more about him as a person i want his link to organ donation to be linked. i think the small subtle logo makes more sense, i also like how it appears at first to be just part of his running shorts, the logo of his running shorts. 

i played around with adding colour backgrounds to help make the bubble concept stand out, however i feel adding colour makes the illustration look more digital and distracts away from the hand drawn detailed figure which should be the focal point. 

i decided to get rid of the collage mountains i used in the initial design idea, i felt the combination of pencil drawing and collage shape was to contracting ins style and colour. 

as i have gone with the white background, i felt the composition needed something else added to it as it was majority negative/white space due to the landscape format i have had to work to for the book page. perfect opportunity for me to add the quote illustration i created to highlight Adams fell running, heart link (heart line) and a quote from my interview with him. 

For envelope 
the peices which are to go in the envelope (a4 portrait print)  format was easier for me to work with for this design.
