OUGD505: Covered

Undertake research to uncover a notable ‘thinker’ – a theorist or philosopher – whose concepts or views resonate with you. While not an exhaustive list, you could, for example, consider any of the following:

Following your initial engagement, locate one publication that documents the work of your chosen thinker and develop a design for a book cover that capably communicates something about its content. Your submission is in two parts:

• An A4 poster print of your proposed cover that is produced using a process of your choice. This should be limited to two colours plus stock.
• A completed jacket design including front, back and spine complete with blurb, publisher logos, ISBN numbers, etc. Again, reflecting some of the constraints in book publishing, this should also be a two colour (plus stock) design.

I am looking forward to starting this brief, as I am interested in learning about philosophy. I am also interested in book cover design, editorial and publishing.
