The idea for my book cover was inspired by the original Penguin book covers, designed by Edward Young and then later developed by Jan Tschichold. The cover is split into three sections. I have used the colour orange to indicate that the book is fiction, in reference to the original colour-coding system. To be honest, I like the way that it looks now, without an illustration, as i think it is quite striking but, of course, this is an illustration blog, so therefore I will have to put in an image.
