Hangman! The Animated Series

So for this GIF, I was inspired by HANGMAN and a book series I remember from elementary school called Animorphs, where these kids had the ability to change into animals. In the books themselves, there were small animations of them morphing into animals. You had to turn the pages really quick to see it though, but I sort of channeled that into this by making the little stick figure at the corner of the page--NO PAGE TURNING NECESSARY!!! lol
GIF!

As usual, I dislike animations for some reason. (I really have no reason to hate them, which surprises me as well lol) In any case, the first thought that came into my head:
 
"HEY! I HAVE AN IDEA!"

...and thus, my animation was BORN!
Hey!

Book Cover: Version III

New Cover!

So, I decided to once again create a different cover. I just had a lot of ideas that I wanted to realize, so I did. Who know? I might incorporate a bunch of different elements to create one SUPERBOOKCOVER! Probably not, but it is a possibility if I'm feeling extra-experimental. This basically takes from the Incan textiles/patterns that I was inspired by.

Book Cover: Version II, Take II

Modifications!

So I ended up tweeking the book cover a little bit. I have to admit that I preferred the other image of "La Mitad Del Mundo," because of its perspective. I couldn't find another image exactly like it so I had to choose this one. I think it's a little bit more boring and one-dimensional...but I tried to add some stuff. I added a soft gradient background, I added the "latitude 0" to the title and changed the font. (unwillingly, I might add since I have the original font in my own computer, which I will convert to outlines!)

Book Cover: Version II

Need to Deviate!

Typical of me, I had to take those few minutes to kind of breathe and try to find a new direction. So...I did. It is about as minimalistic as can be, but I still want to play around with other options!! My head is literally about to explode with ideas. (BTW, excuse the low-res image! It will not be included in the final version! It's a place-holder for the time being!)
