In this project you will design covers for (or 'repackage') a series of classic children's literature. In addition to providing a suitable introduction to narrative within, your illustrative designs will address 2 requirements.

Aesthetic Cohesion
1. The books you can choose from have no relationship. They are not part of a narrative series, they are not written by the same author, they do not contain the same characters etc. Despite this, your designs must provide the disparate collection with an aesthetic cohesion. Further more, your outcomes should make it clear how other books might be brought into the collection. (Imagine you have been asked to provide a test sample, and if successful, you will win the contract to cover an entire collection of classics).

You are asked to demonstrate a treatment across a minimum of 3 titles, to include a full wrap (front & back cover + spine). You must include:
Title (cover & spine)
Author (cover & spine)
Synopsis (back cover)
barcode & price box (back cover)
You can add any other details that you believe lends your work believability.

Dimensions
20.1 x 13.7 x 2 cm
(spine widths vary from book to book, but in the case of this project we will use 2cm as a standard width)
