Entry for Penguin Random House UK's student design awards 2016.

Creation of a book cover for Caitlin Moran’s book “How to be a Woman” along with an explicit, and an implicit poster.

I would normally have avoided this kind of brief, but I decided to push myself to find out if I could design something from a female perspective.

Although not all of the examples shown are finished, they have been included to show the range of ideas that can come from reading a text and trying to interpret it into explicit or implicit messages.

There were some solid ideas in this project that used a mixture of digital and physical techniques, and scope to expand upon some of the elements more, such as using a 3D printer to physically make the model sprue, or setting up a more sophisticated beach scene.
