James and the Giant Peach Live Penguin Brief


We are looking for a striking cover design that is well executed, has an imaginative concept and
clearly places the book for its market of both children (to pick up and buy for themselves) and
adults (to buy for children). While all elements of the jacket need to work together as a cohesive
whole, remember that the front cover needs to be able to work on its own and be eye-catching
within a crowded bookshop setting.

have an imaginative concept and original interpretation of the brief
be competently executed with strong use of typography
appeal to the broadest possible audience for the book
This was my final design for James and the Jiant Peach
