OUGD503 - Stratford Literary Festival Book Jacket: Brief Interpretation

Deadline: 2nd March 2017

The brief is to design a book jacket for the Stratford Literary Festival Felix Dennis Creative Writing Competition Winners 2017. The theme of the book should be colourful, bright and have the interpretation of Sharing Stories. The winning entry will appear as the jacket on a Festival book which will be on sale at Waterstones Stratford-upon-Avon and online. The book jacket does not need to relate to Stratford but it will be ideal for it to.

Ideas

• Speech bubble to show 'Sharing Stories'
• Simple and illustrative to make it seem more personal and imperfect and to reflect 'Sharing Stories' - it gives it more character as do the stories in the book
• A reference to Shakespeare since it is his hometown
• Popular tourist destinations
• The shade of orange used on their logo into the design as people may easily recognise the colour
• Something to do with trees as Felix Dennis used to plan trees to help the environment
