Penguin Book covers brief


Brief

Create a range of five limited edition book covers for 5 modern classic penguin books including ‘One Flew over the cuckoos nest’ (for submission to the annual penguin design competition), using illustrated lettering and image making as the main design aesthetic.


Background / Considerations


It is important to look for less obvious themes and subjects to base the designs on, and to stay away if possible from the associations with the various film versions that have been made of the stories.
The context of the books should be considered – rather than one of the mainstream bookshops, perhaps these books are intended for a book fair or smaller concession.
The range of deliverables that could accompany the book covers should be considered across print, digital, and for both accessories and promotion/point of sale.
While the designs should vary and be individual, there must be elements that make them recognisable as a set.

Mandatory Requirements
Deliverables

Illustrated type must be the main design aesthetic.
5 Book covers

Point of sale
