Easter Break... Wind in the Willows

Taking onboard my tutors comments on improving my book cover, I looked back at the story it originated from. Tode being in prison and allowing to escape because a poor washer women felt sorry for him... This story I felt would be a very impressive continuation of the book cover.
These are some screen shots of my sketchbook development.

Tode in a the Washer women Dress      
Prison Gate to allow him to escape/ next to the gate would be the text

With these knew ideas I started to combine them into photoshop and allow the story to flow thought the spread and I felt the text really made it into an effective bookcover.
Any improvements that I would make would be to look back at the bricks in the front cover and link them more effectively together and also work on the typeface I feel it gets lost a bit in the background but to translate the cutting effect of the text into the bricks it has to be on a more larger scale.
