OVERVIEW

AIMS OF THE BRIEF​
​1. The development of illustration based problem solving/communication skills
2. An exploration of the scope for illustration applications in industry​
OUTCOMES​
3 illustrations:
1- front cover with spine
2- vignette to go with the beginning of story (B&W)
3- a full page colour illustration (CMYK) which showcases a key moment of the story
IMPORTANT INFO

Two illustrations presented as a double-page spread and a two-colour front cover and spine (as specified above) containing the title: 'The Man In Black: Collected Stories'.
​

to produce two illustrations to accompany the written version of the play along with a front cover (and spine) design for the book 'The Man In Black: Collected Stories'. The cover will be printed with two spot colours on a cloth binding (you may specify the colours). The cover will be 165mm wide X 231mm high. The spine will be 30mm wide X 231mm high.


One illustration is a full-page, full bleed image which should be presented as follows: CMYK - image size 160mm wide X 226mm high at a resolution of 300 dpi. Note: this dimension includes a 3mm bleed around all four sides.


The second image is a black and white chapter heading (the title of the play) that is aligned to the body of the justified text. As such it must occupy an area of 105mm wide X 50mm high. Note: there is no requirement that it has to have a crisp, rectangular edge so you may treat it as a vignette (see image above for an example). The final artwork should be presented as a 300 dpi, grayscale image. N.B. You may use fake 'body copy' to simulate the words on your double-page spread.


These two illustrations hould be presented in your portfolio as a double-page spread (see image above).
