As it has been previously decided that I will again develop a penguin book cover, research was undertaken into this years competition. It became evident that the three books selected this year are very different, although all contain themes of ethics. The book 'Animal Farm' is studied at GCSE level in school, and thus it may be suggested, like last years 'to kill a mockingbird', this will be highly popular. In turn leaving myself less of a chance to win the competition.
The non-fiction cover is that of 'A brief history of time' by Stephen Hawking. My initial thoughts surrounded how difficult it may be to complete such cover as an illustration may promote an unrealistic aspect towards the book and thus this would have to be re-figured.
The children's cover for 2018 is that of Noughts and Crosses. Although the obviously approach would be to simply depict the title, this book about racial tensions and equality would leave a vast opportunity for iconography.
