[Book Release News] Night Watch - Special Hardback Edition with cover art by Joe Bundock
A beautiful hardback gift edition of Night Watch, Terry Pratchett's celebrated Discworld novel featuring Commander Sam Vimes.
Earlier this year Penguin Random House ran The Penguin Cover Design Award - an opportunity to take on the role of a book cover designer and build a budding illustrators portfolio. Entrants must not have been professional illustrators or designers.
The Adult category was to design a cover for Night Watch by Terry Pratchett and was won by Joe Bundock, a student at Leeds Arts University.
First prize was a six-month-long mentorship programme with a member of the Penguin Art Department and a Wacom Intuos Pro Medium tablet and Penguin books to the value of £100. Penguin were so impressed by Joe's entry that this special edition was produced as a result.
Rob Wilkins, Director of the Terry Pratchett Estate and a judge on this year's award, said: “I was so impressed with how Joe engaged with the brief and captured the spirit of Terry's work."
For Joe, it's a first cover commission with a rather large name attached: “Knowing my artwork will illustrate the work of someone as monumental to fantasy as Sir Terry Pratchett is an honour beyond words. I hope the design serves as a tribute to such a brilliant author and series.”
This beautiful special hardback edition also features foiled detailing and printed endpapers, a beautiful gift for any Night Watch fan.
