Blurb Link
Here the link for anyone who wants to purchase my first illustrated book from my degree show - The Illustrated A-Z of British Fears.
Penguin Design Awards - Childrens Prize
The chosen book this year was Lewis Carroll's 'Alice's Adventures In Wonderland, which is some ways is difficult to design for a book thats imagery is so well known and ingrained in people's conciousness - its hard to do something 'new' with it.
I created 2 different covers for this book front cover - one for an annotated adults version and one for the childrens version. for the adults version I started experimenting in the dark room with photograms trying to capture an 'animated' feel. In both the books covers I wanted to convey the imagery of Alice being lost in a strange and sometimes, frightening world.

Perfume Design Awards - Adult Prize
Just getting round to posting all my work from 4th year - sorry neglected blog!
The first brief I attempted at the start of 4th year was the Penguin Design Awards brief. This years chosen novel was Perfume: The Story of Murderer by Patrick Suskind. The main thing I enjoyed was experimenting with lino-printing in our studio - its important to just mess around sometimes as a designer. The main concept of the novel I chose to express was the idea that we cannot judge a person by their appearance, that a murderer can be anyone. In illustrating hands I wanted to illustrate the idea of anonymity and allow there to be some mystery and intrigue that would hopefully make the viewer want to read the book.
I created 2 different Final Outcomes, both using handmade graphic design and/or print techniques.
