I am starting from the middle/ back of the book. As you can see, it is a rather complicated illustration and has a mixture of the "all-over-the-places" patterns of bright colors and the black, straightforward focal points. The patterns of green and white dots that could move people's eyes around are comforting for the autistic people as they function as "visual stimulation." The dots, however, actually serve a less important role here. The challenge here is to ask autistic people to focus on the tree trunks and their branches and not to be easily distracted by the dots in the background.
For words to accompany my illustration, I am thinking about something like "Can you tell what is in the picture?"
Moreover, this one actually fits my possible AP Art concentration with the theme "the color white."
I think this is a good first step toward creating work that could serve two functions: the book and the AP. I encourage you to continue to consider light and space in your designs. I think this will help you continue to work in both realms.
