The Outsiders by S.E Hinton
Concept/Proposition --
Using themes and concepts from The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, produce a striking cover which is appealing to a new generation on teenagers. All elements must work effectively as a cohesive whole. The jacket should also speak for itself when seen on a bookshelf amongst other books. Your cover design needs to include all the cover copy as supplied and be designed to the specified design template (B format, 198mm high x 129mm wide, spine 17mm wide).
Considerations --
How have teenage generations changed over time? How different are teenagers interests now, in comparison to previous generations? What elements are most important in book jacket design? Will the cover consist mainly of type, image, image and type combined?
