Book Jacket Design Competition Brief

The Penguin Design Award competition brief is now open, with a closing date of Friday 17th April 2009. We're strongly encouraging entry from students across the Visual Communication course, and this would be a great opportunity to try out a real brief in the publishing industry. 

Remember, you can submit work done for competition briefs in support of your Major Project as part of a body of work.
