Penguin Books Brief This brief was originally just going to be a cover submission for the Penguin Design Awardʼs competition for the clockwork orange book cover. It quickly turned into a whole set of Penguin book cover redesigns that all worked together. I wanted to pick books that were classics and ones that were in need of a cover redesign.

These are the books I illustrated: A Clockwork Orange Frankenstein One Flew Over the Cookooʼs Nest The War of the Worlds Nineteen Eighty-Four I feel they work really well together as a set. My thinking on all of these was to pick out some symbols in the books. I did not want to pick cliche symbols to show for the books; I think that I have achieved that. I also brought them all together by having a consisten format throughout.

This brief turned out far better than expected and showed me that I can do publishing jobs. The reason that I chose this brief was because I have always felt like my book covers ʻmissed somethingʼ and I wanted to change that so that I am a more versatile illustrator. Some problems that I encountered was that I was creating book covers on books that I havenʼt had time to read cover to cover. As part of my rationale spoke about making things ʻnot clicheʼ, I had to research existing covers well in order to create something original, yet still recognisable. Overall, I feel the success of the covers working as a set is due to the block colour background and the motifs running throughout. This also satisfies that rationale where I wrote that I wanted my work to have a ʻclear tone of voiceʼ.
