Brief: Book cover design Client: Penguin Media: Media: Print Outcome: Book cover design Concept: Response to a brief to create a book jacket design for Goodnight Mister Tom a children's novel by the English author Michelle Magorian which follows the relationship of a London evacuee during WW2 housed by a disgruntled old man. The concept uses silhouettes to create a striking landscape that represents the contrasting lifestyles of the two main characters as relayed in the storyline. This is particularly effective when the front and the back of the book are seen together.
