Competition Brief - The Big Sleep

I have chosen the Penguin project which is to create a book cover for a new generation of readers of the book The Big Sleep.

Reasons why I chose this:

· “Choose something you know!” – On my art foundation course I worked on a Penguin book cover brief which included working to the basic Penguin template. It was one of my favourite briefs of the course so I was immediately attracted to this choice.

· Working to a specific size – In my opinion, I think I work best when allocating a certain size for the designs. The other briefs I looked at were more vague and open, which I don’t think is right for me at the moment, especially in the competition circumstances.

· Final outcome as a finished piece – Working towards one final piece helps me to organise myself better during a project, and allow for me to think about how my design is going to end up as I get closer to developing my ideas.
