Cover Design Competition
Mathias writes:
I am in the process of finishing my phd thesis and it goes to the presses in the middle of May (defence in September). Our institution allows the writers to design the book covers - with rather sad results.
So to try to improve on this situation I want to organise a design competition for the cover of my thesis.
I have put more information online here.
To get more contributions I have decided to publicise the competition by mailing (spamming?) some of the blogs I read and to see if this spreads.
To be honest, I wasn’t going to post this; there have been some pretty juicy conversations around here centering around design competitions and whether they’re a Good Thing™, and thought by perhaps not giving it attention, it might just quietly go away.
However, BoingBoing has since mentioned it, generating a discussion on the announcement page that’s, well, familiar.
Interested in the competition? Want to give him a piece of your mind, as a book design professional? Enjoy.…
