OUGD503 - Responsive - Penguin Books - Hand Covers

Penguin By Hand covers

Totally different to the sleek and simple covers of the last post, these covers hand-made tactile production methods show how diverse book covers can be. 

As this brief requires the covers to be really eye-catching and something different, exploring more complex processes and techniques will set the designs apart. 
These stitched and quilted covers show an extra level of intricacy that express a tactility quality that is not typically seen with some cover designs come commonly seen today.  
































The embossing plate for this Help cover is so elaborate and complex it make the book cover a real artefact. Within the design ideas this higher level of production means the cover is really a thing of beauty.
