PENGUIN | Student Design Award 2017


• Maximum of one design submitted in each of the categories.
- Adult Fiction Cover Award (To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee)

• Entries submitted digitally via a link available on their website from Wednesday 18th Jan 2017. Closing date is 12:00 Tuesday 7th March 2017

• I'm interested in this competition because it requires research to be carried out in order to understand the subject matter of the book. It also combines an illustrative outcome with design principles in order to produce the final outcome which is suited to a specific format.

SECRET-7


• 2016 competition has closed. Tracks for 2017 will be announced.

• This competition interests me because I think the idea of Secret-7 is really interesting and inventive, especially the idea of the contents of the sleeve being completely unknown to the buyer, so in that instance the image really has to draw someone in and effectively put across the vibe of the piece of music.

• Also, similarly with the book cover brief, it brings in elements of design which I enjoy doing. It is illustration that is applied to a specific physical item, which required a bit of thought to the layout, etc.
