UNPROTECTED – BOOK COVER
University project that was called “Merge the impossible” involved combining two or more objects or animals that usually wouldn’t be combined.
One day when I was preparing tea I realized that the teapot looks like the head of an elephant. That is when I decided to merge a teapot with an elephant truck. My first idea for this project was to make an aquarium out of the PC. Elephant teapot was my second idea.
First stage of the project was to find images that would be combined in same quality. I used image of the elephant, teapot, steam and background.

First versions:
When we finished that next part of the assignment was to use the object/animal we created to design a movie poster or a book cover. I chose to create a book cover. First, we had to come up with the story. In history when Kenya was an English colony many noblemen were hunting elephants. That continued until people realized that if they continue that way elephants would become extinct. So the hunting became illegal. But poachers did not care about the law, since money was more important they continued to hunt.
Final version:
That’s why I decided to call my book “Unprotected” since the government failed to protect those creatures. Holes in the title represent bullet holes, and the red color represents blood. Teapot represents England since everything started when they came and started hunting. I choose deserted and dry land for the background to create a more tense and sad atmosphere and the color green since it is complementary color with the color red, and it depicts the atmosphere of the story.
