this year the Penguin book is The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler.
The Brief:
The Big Sleep is a serious and significant mainstream novel that just happens to possess elements of mystery and crime. The story is well known both in celluloid and print so it is essential to come at it from a fresh angle. Try to design a new cover for a new generation of readers, avoiding the obvious clichés. Originality is key.
Audience: all readers both familiar and unfamiliar with the text, male and female.
Message: there are many layers and themes within the book. Read it and discover what the book means to you.
Your cover design needs to include all the cover copy as supplied and be designed to the specified design template (B format, 198mm high x 129mm wide, spine 16mm wide).
The Puffin Children's book it The Wind and The Willows, the brief states,
Students are invited to design a whole new cover look for The Wind in the Willows, in order to reinvent this classic for a new generation of readers, encouraging children (and adults) to revisit it time and time again, and ensuring that it remains an integral part of childhood.
Both of these briefs will allow me to used my illustration skills and apply them to book design which is something I want to focus on during my FMP.
