I am going to base my front cover on the love of Orpheus and Eurydice.
Here I am just going to show a few images that I have seen on the internet of Orpheus and Eurydice and their journey. These images that I have chosen to show here are images that I think can inspire me when designing. I have picked Orpheus and Eurydice from the blurb because when doing a small quick amount of research after getting the information this morning at the start of the 5 hours we had to make the cover, I think that this was the route of specifics that I would like to go down. I always think that love and romance will get anyones interest and although these image may not instantly portray this, I think that when looking closer you can see this blossoming.
This painting here is beautifully showing the story so well. I wanted to include this in my findings as the colour and work gone into this is so inspiring. I may not use this in my design but it has shown me more of the story with this image than trying to read a lot of words on a page.
This has to be one of my favourite images that I have found of Orpheus and Eurydice. The very limited use of pen in this is so abtract, but what I think is good about this image is that it is so modern and with the time we are in now that I think this would attract people more than an old type of painting. I am going to use this image within my designs.
As well as the first image that I have chosen to use for inspriration, I think that this continues on from that. When Orpheus takes one glance back at Eurydice to make sure that she is still following him, he looses her. This is a scene from the tradedy that is within this story.
