Literature Northwest: DESIGN SEMINAR

Where : International Anthony Burgess Foundation
Price : Free
with David Pearson and Alistair Hall
The eighth publishing seminar in Literature Northwest's current schedule will feature two of the most exciting designers working in literature today.
David Pearson is best known for his work on Penguin's Great Ideas, Great Loves and Great Journeys series, as well as Pocket Penguin classics. He is known for creating simple, but instantly identifiable covers, and has won or been nominated for D&DA design awards a total of seven times! In 2005 he was nominated for the Design Museum's Designer of the Year Award, and in 2007 was included in The Guardian's list of 'Britain's Top 50 Designers'.
Alistair Hall worked as part of the same award-winning Penguin design team, on the Great Ideas project before setting up his own design company, We Made This, with help from NESTA's Creative Pioneer Programme. Since then his company has been making stuff with a range of clients, including The RSA, The Crafts Council, Teenage Cancer Trust, Twickenham Literature Festival and, most recently, Nick Hornby's Ministry of Stories project.
Attendance to this seminar is free for any designers or production editors working within the publishing sector in the Northwest, but places are limited and need to be booked in advance by emailing [email protected]
This event is in conjunction with the Re-Covered exhibition at Untitled Gallery (Mount St), which opens on Fri 17th June, and the Manchester Book Market (17-18th June). More info on www.ntitledgallerymanchester.com and www.literaturenorthwest.co.uk
