Assignment 2 - Unreleased photos

Book 1 Cover Completed.

I had designed the lace pattern in such a way to allow the bending of the "leaves" so the pattern spans different planes. It was also done to allow light to glow more vibrantly along the perimeter.

Just found out photos that were marked for upload actually didn't make it to the final blog post so I'm reposting them here, if anything to have a more consolidated record should I need to refer back to my progress/notes.
