Doctor Who & The Ink Spots 4 page leaflet



This is another piece of course work, a four page A5 digitally printed leaflet. To create more interest in the subject matter for both author and reader alike it was decided to include a favourite subject of the author Doctor Who. The design was planned as a follow up to the Penguin Book homage done previously. The look is based on the classic Penguin design of the 60's and 70's and uses the same grid. The use of cyan, magenta and yellow ink spots together with the black type represents the four colour process used in both digital and litho printing.

Penguin Books Tribute & Postcards










Recently I have become rather in awe of the design of Penguin Books. I like the simplicity and the adaptability of how one layout can be used to create a variety of different designs but still keeps a uniformity which makes the brand distinctive. To understand this more I decided to create the above covers using the same layout and gave them a vintage look to make them look authentic. I decided to create something of interest to me and found inspiration from a favourite story of Doctor Who and the films Bedazzled, Carry on Girls, Dawn of the Dead, Barbarella plus the Patrick McGoohan classic The Prisoner.
