'HIDE IT!' BOOK JACKET DESIGN

 

 BOOK JACKET DESIGN IDEAS FOR A RECENT 

IDEAS TAP BRIEF. 'HIDE IT!' IS A COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES WRITTEN BY YOUNG PEOPLE AND ASIDE FROM THIS THE BRIEF WAS VERY OPEN. IT WOULD BE GREAT TO HAVE ONE OF MY DESIGNS USED BUT I LOVE 1960S ERA PENGUIN BOOK JACKET DESIGN SO IT WAS JUST LOTS OF FUN TO HAVE A GO AT MY OWN TAKE ON IT FOR THIS PROJECT.

EDITORIAL MESS ABOUT

YESTERDAY I WAS DRAFTED IN TO COVER FOR AN ILLUSTRATOR WHO HAD PULLED OUT OF DOING THEIR PIECE FOR THE SKINNY... TIGHTEST DEADLINE I'VE WORKED TO WITH THEM SO FAR (LESS THAN A DAY) BUT I LIKE A CHALLENGE! I DIDN'T GET TO SEE THE ARTICLE BUT THE SUBJECT WAS MOVING TO A NEW CITY FOR UNI AND THINGS TO DO / SIGHTS TO SEE ETC WHEN YOU GET THERE. THE PIECE ABOVE IS NOT THE PIECE I SUBMITTED, IN FACT IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE IT (NOR DO I THINK IT'S THAT SUCCESSFUL AS AN IMAGE FOR THE ARTICLE) BUT I KNOCKED IT TOGETHER FROM SOME OF THE ELEMENTS OF THE FINAL PIECE AND I QUITE LIKE IT IN A MINIMALIST EXPERIMENTATION SORT OF WAY...
