When I've looked, not sure but I think it's a different one to the one I saw before, but the one now is to redesign the cover for The Big Sleep.
Obviously, I want to push the brief to be a lot more substantial. The initial thought is:
- paperback cover
- hardback cover
- promotional material
I think for a FMP brief it needs to be a bit more than that, especially if I want to make it one of my 5 main ones.
Could do a collection?
I found the 2006 list of every Penguin book published (didn't realise there would be so many!). From the list I gathered 4 different categories that they fell under:
- fiction
- non fiction
- play
- poetry
I could choose X amount from each to make into a collection? Or do some sort of special packaging for one from each?
On the website there's a browse section, and under it there's one for books written by Charles Dickens?
In this section there's 15 different books by him. When reaching this point I thought it would be a great path to take the brief, to redesign the book covers by Dickens, but looking at these they already have covers that work as a set so seems a bit pointless to do?
Moving on...
Also down the left hand side of the website is a link for the Top 10 Classics. Hmm... There's lists for:
- adventures
- wintery reads
- dickens
- beats
- erotic
- anti-term
- summer
- departures
- animals
- journeys
- spring
- beautiful
I could redesign the covers for one of the top ten lists? Maybe propose that it would be done for each list? Make them into:
- collectors editions?
- limited edition?
- gift sets?
I think I am getting a bit lost in the web of this, so I've decided to take a quick step back, have a quick search on behance for existing examples of what people have come up with and go from there.
The website that I used for this post is http://www.penguinclassics.co.uk/ (bibliography shiz init).
