Designer, James Macey from Blacksheep Publishing UK created a brief and later judged the entries.
The brief given was designed to replicate the same style of information the publishing company would receive from the client. The pupils had the following information to work with; book title, author, genre, size of the book, synopsis and the what is required for the design. This year the book title was ‘The Cloak of Feathers’ by Nigel Quinlan.
James had this to say about the designs;
James Macey’s chosen winners are:
First place – James Duncombe Second place – Emma Kuhepa Third place – Georgia Harker
Well done to all the entries.
Instead of having a World Book Day, here at Bethany we had an activity in the Library every day!
We’ve had several masterclasses from authors, Malorie Blackman, Patrice Lawrence, Holly Smale and illustrator, Chris Riddell. These classes challenged the pupils to think about their emotions, connect with their readers, and think about characters before developing illustrations of them.
We’ve also listened to books by Chris Ryan and Michelle Harrison.
