Front & Back Covers Ideas

As an experiment I tried to quickly come up with a front cover using my characters and make a catchy name 'The Teenagers Troublesome Travels' . Yes! it does keep to the illustration and child like nature with the rest of the book, however I don't particularly like the title or the grid layout. Probably because it isn't Artsy Fartsy enough!! 

So now that I have finished the interior for the book, I now need to create the books front and back cover. This is something that must still be in keeping with the illustration inside of the book, as well as being interesting to entice the reader.

I have come up with a few title names which use my logo name, so the reader will know who the author is. I particularly like "Kid Clayton's City Guide" - this is because it reminds me of a travellers guide and will teach the readers about the geography of each city. 

I have decided on the "Kid Clayton's City Guide" name, so I then tried a few sketches working out the layout of the front and back. I found this difficult at first as I needed the page to keep to the targets audience age range. But I will try a few experimentations using photoshop to create an interesting front and back cover.
