development

 the top image is the one i am basing my Ibook first page on. i like the illustrative style and its going to give me the chance to build on my illustrator skills. i've started my volcano first and also the lava flow. i've used a radial gradient on the volcano because i'm choosing to use a night sky theme. the gradient on the volcano is reflecting the lava flow where it is lighting up as it travels down the side of the volcano.  ive still got to add the explosive material, and i'm thinking of using my navigation buttons coming out of the volcano so you can click on them.
