This design is an entry for the Young Creative Awards Competition for Graphic Design with the brief of showcasing Nottingham and its young talent. Taking on a minimalist approach, I wanted the cover to depict the story of Robin Hood’s plot visually, hence the image of a money bag being hit by arrows, with coins coming out from the bag. The arrow is a symbol for Robin Hood, given his unquestionable skills in archery as the tale tells us. Overall, the visuals specifically illustrate Robin Hood in action, with his arrows successfully hit the money bag that supposedly represents the wealth of the rich that “he steals from”, before giving it to the needy. I also added an accent of using a different colour on the word “Rob” in the name “Robin” to highlight this story plot that is described by the visuals. Finally, I added a quotation from Robin Hood tale that gives a short synopsis of the story under an illustration of his famous hat on the back cover to intrigue the future readers even more.
