Penguin Student Design Award- The Night Manager | Kitty Turner

My entry for the Adult Fiction category of the Penguin Student Design Award. The chosen book was The Night Manager by John le Carré. My design aimed to incorporate the two main themes of the book- wealth and weapons. I decided to use a refined colour theme of dark blue and gold which reflects the wealth and darkness of the story. I have created an intricate pattern consisting of objects that represent the complex world of wealth and weapons. They are also positioned in a circle surrounding 'The Night Manager', showing how these worlds are closing in on Jonathan Pine. Then, I have used a shadow around the edges which creates a sinister night time atmosphere that sets the tone of the book. Although my entry did not reach the next stage, I really enjoyed creating this design.
