MY PENGUIN

The Penguin Group, comprises all Penguin Books, and is the biggest trade book publishers in the world, it was founded 1935. In November 2006, it was decided to publish its favourite books without front covers, leaving it completely up to the user  to design, the project was called My Penguin and people could then send in their own front covers. This is where I saw these, in the online Penguin Gallery.

I picked these out because of how they've been designed, the person in each of these have decided to use handwriting instead of type to work along side the image. I think that overall the whole idea of having the project,  My Penguin is really good, and is really interesting to see the different outcomes, however I am more interesting in seeing the handwriting. They are all but a couple here that look entirely like normal handwriting, but despite this I think the handwriting works perfectly with the rest of the design. If this is truly their handwriting then I think it is a really interesting connection then between this the image, it sums up personality and style.
