In 2008 the brief was to take a photograph that fitted the 'spirit of the novel', Invisible Man - Ralph Ellision. The image had to fit with the theme/feel of the novel itself as well as be appropriate to be the front cover, fitting in with Penguin Books new Modern Classics layout.
Students would have read the book before creating the image and tried to make it both modern and fitting in with the story as as well as Penguin's new layout.
This is the image that was chosen. Taken by David Wala from Newcastle College.
2009s Winner.
In 2009 there was a similar brief. Penguin were looking for another book cover to fit in with their Modern Classics range. This time the cover was for Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring'. Again students were looking for a cover that would fit the feel/story.
This years winner was Andrew Partner from Leicester College.
2010
2010's was another book cover for Penguins Modern Classics and like the previous year had more of a structor/template to follow with the layout as you can see with the texts position, font, colour etc and this would have given something for the students to work with, a basic layout in some ways.
This years book was At Swim-Two-Birds by Flann O'Brien and the overall winner was Anne Marie Atkinson from Leeds College of Art.
2011
This year the competition was a completely different theme. This year, the theme was senses and the brief suggested that students looked at different senses, what senses meant to us and how different ones could be represented in photographs. We also looked at how different things would be if we were without certain senses. In this respect the competition was a lot more open for us in general and we didn't have a pattern structure to follow as long as we had a clear link to the theme.
This years winner was Clélia Maumene from Newcastle College.
