More Penguin Food

Some more of the Penguin Great Food series (first shown here)...

..and another upcoming (RED) cover has leaked. If this isn't the work of Harland Miller, then I'll buy a hat and eat it.

Chasch said...: Love the Penguin Food covers, the repetition motif reminds me of what they did for their classic boardback series (the ones presumable designed by Coralie Bickford-Smith) with a more grungy, wallpaper-like twist.

The new (RED) cover may be my favorite in that series. I like that the paint effect is also applied to the red banner at the bottom, and the washed out penguin logo in the bottom right corner is an interesting detail. Thanks for finding these!; 5 August 2010 at 05:43

JRSM said...: I've found a couple of the covers, such as 'Great Expectations' and 'The Communist Manifesto'. I'll post them in the next couple of days.; 10 August 2010 at 16:34
