Square Peg is pairing up with Yellowzine to commission an aspiring book designer to work on the cover for The Mixed Race Experience
Square Peg is pairing up with Yellowzine to commission an aspiring book designer to work on the cover for The Mixed Race Experience. Square Peg, an imprint of Vintage, Penguin Random House UK is looking to commission a designer who has not worked on a book cover before to work on The Mixed Race Experience, the debut book by Natalie and Naomi Evans, the creators behind the popular Everyday Racism Instagram account. The commissioned designer will be tutored by a member of Vintage’s award-winning design team on creating the cover, and ultimately turn these into a finalised book cover (with a spine and back cover). The designer will also be paid £750 for their work (the standard fee for book cover commissions) and be featured on the Yellowzine platform and newsletter. This opportunity is open to anyone with experience of graphic design, and an understanding of how to use software such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Entrants must be 18or over. Designers should send their portfolios or three examples of previous work via this JotForm. Designers of African, Caribbean, Asian and racialised community backgrounds will be prioritised. We require portfolios or three examples of previous work for this application. All designers will have an opportunity to attend a free virtual design workshop run by Yellowzine on X July, which will include the basics that every graphic designer should know, how to work on branding and how to build a portfolio. This opportunity is open from 28th June to 26th July.
