Whilst doing some research into Penguin Classic Books, I stumbled across the Pocket Penguins Boxed set which is described as;
"The Pocket Penguins series consists of 70 unique titles published to celebrate Penguin's 70th birthday...At 64 pages each, Pocket Penguins are ideal to travel with you wherever you're going and wherever you are, you'll be able to spend an idle moment with great authors ranging from Homer to Hornby. All are superbly designed and highly collectable with each cover created as part of a project undertaken by 70 leading artists and designers."
Creating posters for an anniversary or special edition collection could be a direction I could take. For example they could be posters to go along side 'Ten Books Every Person Should Read', maybe aimed towards children/young adults, as my style of illustration would potentially appeal to a younger audience.
Above are a collection of book covers that were created for Penguin's 70th Anniversary. Although I will be making posters, researching illustrators and artists who have been commissioned by Penguin is helpful and interesting.
