oranges are not the only fruit concept

The concept for this book cover was to bring an older story into the modern age attracting a younger audience to the book. I wanted to create a clean modern look whilst not referencing directly that it was a particularly modern story. I also wanted to get across the girls feelings of sadness so the audience will know the overall tone of the book. I wanted to portray idea of thoughts and writing down notes as this is referenced a lot throughout the book. I feel that the angle that I have decided to go with for the concept is quite risky because it doesn't focus directly on the story but more the main character and the feelings that she has.
