By undertaking research into the judges of the Penguin Random House Student Design Awards for the Adult Fiction Cover, I have been able to identify the following information potentially assisting my own design direction:
•Vintage-style aesthetics may have potential to be favoured.
•Consideration of typographic representation, association and psychological connotation is imporant.
•Resolutions featuring photographic visual information may have potential to be favoured.
•Graphic design knowledge is of an abundance in regard to the judges, with 4/5 having degrees in and/or a profession within graphic design.
•Use of space and layout will be subject to scrutiny (amongst other design principles).
