OUGD401 - Practical Further Development

I decided that my book needed something else, some textures or colour to bring it to life. I looked online and found some interesting water-colour textures (which I will re-create myself) and added them to my book to see what they looked like and how it worked. I added this to my front cover and I feel like it's made it more eye catching and bold. 

I like this as it adds a distressed feel to the book and the cross could also represent womens right to vote, which was a big step in womens rights. I added some more textures to some of the pages, and I liked the effect they had on the overall tone on my book:

I would like my book to have a narrative, as these are only my preliminary designs I don't have much to work with, but as I plan to create my own textures for this book I will create them to fit my work. I want the book to become more distressed as you go through it, representing the anger women are feeling as these types of adverts are still being produced.
