Farenheit 451 Book Cover Contest
Next year, Simon & Schuster will be celebrating the 60th anniversary of Ray Bradbury’s classic dystopian novel, Fahrenheit 451. Simon & Schuster is launching a contest to redesign the iconic book jacket. The winning design will be used for the first print run of the anniversary edition in the spring of 2013, and the designer will be awarded $1,500. The design may also be used on in-store displays and other promotions both physical and online. All rules and guidelines on the contest Tumblr site. Accepting submissions until November 30th, and the winner will be announced at the American Librarian Association Midwinter conference in January.
Moonrise Kingdom
Not all the films credits include the book cover artists of the film. Moonrise Kingdom does.
Wes Anderson’s latest film is a total design piece from its book covers to trucking cameras. The Francine Odysseys book-clutch by Olympia Le-Tan. (The original book jacket was designed by Juman Malouf especially for Wes Anderson’s film Moonrise Kingdom).
