AF101: Visual Communication

The Brief:
"Design a book cover following a supplied competition brief (The Penguin Design Award) Then adapt this design into an A2 Poster, advertising the re-launch of a book."

For the competition there is a choice of 2 books:

            The Big Sleep: The Big Sleep is an American mystery novel from 1939, written by  Raymond Chandler.  
The Big Sleep is a story of sex, drugs, blackmail and high society narrated by a cynical tough guy, Philip Marlowe. As such, it provides the template for much of the urban crime fiction which came after, as well as most modern Hollywood thrillers.'

            The Wind in the Willows: The Wind in the Willows is a classic children's book first released in 1908. It follows the lives of Toad, Ratty, Badger and Mole and the adventures they get up to.

I've started to read both books and look forward to working on a live brief.
