Penguin Book Cover Competition 2015 - The brief was to produce a book cover in order to enter the annual penguin book cover awards. The book I chose to produce a sleeve for was Oranges are not the only fruit by Jeanette Winterson. I carried out my primary research by reading large parts of the book and also watching the BBC movie adaption of the novel. This gave me a good understanding of the feel of the story, therefore I chose to illustrate in a adolescent manor as this was first impression I was given. The hand rendered typography and the playful colouring in of the orange really empathised this. But to add a more dark and sinister feel (which i gathered from reading further) I gave the orange devil horns and a tail to portray something quite different to initial impressions. I produced artwork in accordance to what I felt from the book.
