Brief:
Design a stunning and contemporary cover look for one of the 20th Century’s most acclaimed authors, HG Wells
Creative Challenge:
Known mostly for his Science Fiction writing, HG Wells also wrote incredible social novels that are still relevant today, covering topics such as the mid-life crisis, class, feminism, materialism, consumerism and love.
Your challenge is to choose from the titles listed in the mandatory requirements and to create hardback cover designs that work as a set and establish the books as timeless fiction
Target audience
Young, literate creatives.
Mandatory Requirements:
The only constraint you have is that these must be hardback. Think about every other aspect – materials, size, jacket (or not)… These new editions must stand out as modern literature.
Produce designs for three or more of these titles:
The History of Mr Polly
Kipps
Ann Veronica
Tono-Bungay
Love and Mr Lewisham
You must think of these as a set, so do plan how you can visually link them together
Please avoid ‘classic’ or Victorian designs
In the group we each chose a title that we would like to design. We began our research by looking at book covers that appealed us as the consumer. Underneath are some of the designs that we looked at.
