I looked at a range of briefs from YCN, star packs IOM3, Penguin, RSA, D&AD, design museum and roses student awards. Ones that I looked where:
- Barcardi

Some of them I wasn't very inspired by but others I did get excited about so I wrote notes on them on what I liked about it and underlined key factors of the brief.
Workshop:
Penguin/Puffin
Why have you chosen it?
I love the penguin brand and the versatility of book covers. Although its a simple format you can be very creative with processes, type and image.
What do you want to get out of it?
A published design and experience of working to an industry brief.
What do you want to do or make?
A creative and unique twist on covering a book and making it stand out in a crowd.
Why do you want to enter it?
It has an english element, i've learnt about the brand previously and you get the opportunity to design with penguin book designers as the prize. Plus it would insanely awesome to win and be able to say you did that.

Revolutionary idea to change drinking vodka, the experience and opportunities.
