Old Major represents V. I. Lenin (1870-1924), the leader of the Bolshevik Party that seized control in the 1917 Revolution. As old Major outlines the principles of Animalism, a theory holding that all animals are equal and must revolt against their oppressors, Lenin was inspired by Karl Marx's theory of Communism, which urges the "workers of the world" to unite against their economic oppressors.

Animal Farm was written by George Orwell. The purpose of the book was to mock the Communist state of Russia. The genera of the book is Political Science and Political Fiction ( if there are those genera), because it deals with the world of 1947 politics mixed in with fictional characters (animals) that talk. The target audience of this book is age 12 and up or anyone that can understand world political issues. The book was not hard to read, in fact it was a very direct book. There was one problem about the book, it was hard to identify who was the narrator of the book. Besides that, it is a excellent book.
Life on " Manor Farm" was not the greatest for the animals. The conditions were very harsh. The animals would go days without eating. Then one day after all the cruel conditions Mr. Jones had put them throught, they start a rebellion against him and his men. And the animals win. They start off their own farm. Thus changing the name of the farm from "Manor Farm" to "Animal Farm". To guide them are three pigs; Squealer, Snowball and Napoleon. The pigs use of their intelligence causes them to be the dictating animal . Napoleon rids Snowball because of their differences. The rule of Comrade Napoleon was harsher than Mr. Jones. The animals faced shortages in food and long work hours. But the superior pigs keep saying "Do you want Jones to comeback ?"And that would shut the complaining of the animals. Many years later, the pigs invite the humans on their farm and they have a feast. As Clover was staring at the bunch she looked and looked and she couldn't tell the difference between man and pigs (there is so much that is happening, I can't explain it all in a one paragraph, Read the book).
The characters that had a larger effect on the overall aspect of the book would be; Boxer, Squealer, Napoleon, and Snowball. Boxer is a horse, very dedicate in his cause in building the windmill. Which is ironic because he dies by over exertion in building the windmill. Boxer favorite two lines are, "I will work harder" and "Napoleon is always right". Squealer is a pig. He is the "P.R." for Napoleon, explaining a bunch of mumbo jumbo to the dumb animals. And the animals would believe him because they can't understand a word that he is saying.

I like the look of this piece because of the symbolism as well as the textures I have created. Collage is not my usual media of choice so it was very experimental, furthermore scanning the piece was like a happy accident because it gave it that vintage grainy look which made it come together even more as it resembles the those days

Benjamin the Donkey: Character analysis 

# data[].attributes.body
Benjamin represents all the bystanders and intellectuals who did not oppose Stalin when everything started going downhill. He one of the only animals on the farm that knew what was happening but chose not to engage until the very last straw when Boxer was being sent to the slaughterhouse. The only information he reveals about his character is "Donkey's live a long time, have you ever seen a dead donkey?" which suggests that maybe he has seen this happen before or he's so pessimistic and cynical that he thinks no matter what leadership theyll be under itll always be bad.

As for the illustrations I want to pick some iconic scenes that emphasise the tyranny that Napoleon has brought upon the farm and in each piece you'll be able to see the farm turning more and more totalitarian.

As for the book jacket cover i want it to be something filled with metaphor and symbolism however I haven't pinned what the main focus of it will be however Im trying to avoid it being Napoleon as it has been done many times before so it would be very cliche. i will either try to make it about the animals or make Napoleon into something symbolical rather than just his image.

I did some research into the publishing company and this is the animal book covers they already published and there's a variety of different styles and focus points so I think . I could be more free with creating the cover as it doesnt seem that they have any specific requirements for their books.

# data[].attributes.body
One problem that i will . have to overcome is figure out what style to do the 4 illustrations in because it's quite uncommon for classic books to have illustrations especially if its a short novella like George Orwell's so I have to conduct some primary research and go to a waterstones or a libary

Dada was an art movement formed during the First World War in Zurich in negative reaction to the horrors and folly of the war. The art, poetry and performance produced by dada artists is often satirical and nonsensical in nature

https://www.tate.org.uk/art/art-terms/d/dada

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Dada artists felt the war called into question every aspect of a society capable of starting and then prolonging it - including its art. Their aim was to destroy traditional values in art and to create a new art to replace the old. As the artist Hans Arp later wrote:

In addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and had political affinities with the radical left.

The founder of dada was a writer, Hugo Ball. In 1916 he started a satirical night-club in Zurich, the Cabaret Voltaire, and a magazine which, wrote Ball, 'will bear the name "Dada". Dada, Dada, Dada, Dada.' This was the first of many dada publications. Dada became an international movement and eventually formed the basis of surrealism in Paris after the war.

Leading artists associated with it include Arp, Marcel Duchamp, Francis Picabia and Kurt Schwitters. Duchamp's questioning of the fundamentals of Western art had a profound subsequent influence.

I have been struggling a bit with finding a way to make the text and the pattern on the cover coherent without one taking over the other so I looked up the Penguin clothbound classics to gain some inspiration

# data[].attributes.body
After a tutorial with Katie she showed me Dinara Mirtalipova  whose style is greatly inspired by Eastern European traditional folk art.

# data[].attributes.body
Recently I went to the AUB gallery as they made an exhibition called "Crossing the line" involving Shepard Fairey so I was hoping this could further inform my project.

# data[].attributes.body
I found this piece in particular very interesting because Fairey has used a style that imitates traditional folk art and the colour scheme is very effective because the simplicity of it helps us identify the focal point. Since i have been struggling with the colours in my own work i will try to experimnet by implementing similar tones.

# data[].attributes.body
I also went to the library to see if there are any more books that I can find that involve pattern to see how they make sure the title doesn't disappear in the amount of detail the illustration has. I found this book which I thought worked very well as the text was in the middle with a nice round border which seperated it from everything else but the border on the outside made it all work together as well.

# data[].attributes.body
This one is interesting because the illustration actually made the text blend in with the pattern but then  seperated them using colour which made the title and author name stand out but still be coherent with the rest of the illustration
