Answer

Part 1

The result can be seen in Part 2 – which shows both greyscale and colour versions of both book covers. I loved experimenting with the image trace tool and the use of gradients, and the end result can be quite dramatic. What kinds of images I use would depend upon the age of the target market – picture books for younger readers would look better with a coloured illustration; though if it were a chapter book (for older readers) I could probably get away with the greyscale ones.
