Penguin / Puffin Book Cover Submission 2016

The Penguin/Puffin awards brief for 2016 was to design a new, classic cover for Caitlin Moran’s book, ‘How to Be a Woman.’

The design needed to feel timeless and classic, whilst at the same time making it clear to the reader that it is very entertaining and very funny. I feel that my response did this very well, and the simplistic application of shape and typography to the design kept it elegant, yet witty.
