The Penguin Random House Student for students to experience real cover design briefs first-hand.
The competition was open in three categories, with Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird in adult fiction, Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood in adult non-fiction and Sue Townsend’s The Secret Diary of Adrian Mole Aged 13 3/4 in children’s books. I have submitted covers for two of the categories and I have used diverse techniques to accomplish the final result.
