Through identifying book jacket design as an area of creative that I have a growing interest in, the Stratford Upon Avon Literary Festival book jacket competition is one that I have taken part of. Completing this brief was similar to Penguin due to the openness of the brief. The simple requirement was that the design must represent a personal interpretation of the title, Sharing Stories. The brief also subtly hinted that they would like it to be related to Stratford however this is not necessary.
Through the research conducted the chosen medium for responding to this brief was a mix of painted illustration and digital design. As I completed this brief in a two day period, minimal time was available for experimentation. Although this can be seen as a negative, the positive that came from this was that I was able to complete a piece of illustration and then work with it digitally to produce an appropriate response. This has taught me recognising an including these suggested elements can made a design more unique and personal when approached in an alternative way.
