Shortlisted for Penguin Design Award
Recent BA DGD graduate Stuart Harris was shortlisted for this years prestigious Penguin Design Award.
Launched in 2007, Penguin Design Awards are intended to encourage students on a Degree or HND Art or Design course to engage in design for publishing during their studies and to experience real jacket design briefs first-hand.
This year’s brief required students to design a book jacket for the iconic novel ‘On the Road’ by Jack Kerouac.
Stuart provided the following explanation for his work:

I have also sampled vintage colours, such as those found in early Bakelite plastics, to achieve my final result’
