Penguin Student Design Award 2020 ‘The Night Manager’

The rationale for this project was to depict two of the main characters of the book (Pine and Roper) each of them reaching for the bell, however as the novel goes Roper takes pine under his lead for the illegal arms trade, the cover shows this by Ropers hand being the larger and darker shadow while Pines is the smaller hand, this can be seen as Roper taking dominance against Pine.

  • Front view of cover design depicting the artwork of 2 hands reaching for the receptionists bell.
  • Book with front and spine visivle depicting the artwork of 2 hands reaching for the receptionists bell, and a spine matching the colour of the front cover background.
  • The book being held showing the back cover, this contains the blurb and an image of a receptionists bell by itself.
  • Angled view of the book showing the book front cover and spine.
