My LMNOP Publish Me Competition Entry

My book made it through the nominations for LMNOP's Publish Me competition! The winner of the competition gets their book published, and you can now vote for my book to win over on their site now.


The book tells the story of a professional feud between two 19th century American palaeontologists, illustrating extracts of letters written by Prof. Edward Drinker Cope. This is the result of a 15 week research lead project, with illustrations produced using indian ink.

Below is some of the artwork taken from the book:

Penguin Design Awards 2012 Entry: One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

The brief this year was to create a cover design for Ken Kesey's novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (which is probably more famous for the Jack Nicholson film adaptation). I tried to make the title of the book the main focus of my design as people are probably more familiar with the novel than with Ken Kesey the author.
The text is meant to resemble a stamp, and the images in the background are based on Rorschach tests, but I tried to make them more obviously resemble faces than just blobs.

The Penguin Design Awards competition is open until the 19th of April and you can enter it here. Tweet

Website, Adobe Muse and other things

I've finally managed to get my portfolio website properly up and running! I made it using Adobe Muse which is a completely code free (and amazing) web design tool, which is free to download as a slightly basic beta here.

Go take a look: www.adrianeverett.co.uk :)

In other news, we've been doing a few two day project/workshop things at uni over the past couple of weeks.  For the first workshop, we had to swap our research files with another student to pick two image out of. We then had to make an 8 A5 image narrative based on the images.
These are the pictures I was given; an portrait of Othniel Charles Marsh an image of Death playing some kind of heart-guitar by Russian illustrator Skirill.



I tried to keep the narrative in the images relatively loose, and was working digitally for a change.
Here's a selection of my images from the workshop:
