The English Group has always kept a scrapbook of resources that we find inspiring. We now include this within our website in the form of a blog and, from now on, will add to it on an ongoing
basis. The directory showcases graphic design, art, books, magazines, film and music, photography, portraits, fashion, architecture, interiors, hotels and travel, products & toys - alongside The English
Group's own categories, ‘Travelling’ and 'Our Work' (‘Our Print’ and ‘Our Websites’), which illustrate the team's own travels and a full chronological listing of the agency's creative work.

Penguin 75: Designers, Authors, Commentary (the good, the bad…)

Art director, Paul Buckley, selected 75 covers from the past ten years and asked authors and designers to discus the design process and how, in the end, they actually felt about their covers.

As the title suggests, the commentary isn’t padded with fluff, and if the author or designer wasn’t happy about the final result, you’ll hear why, often with wit and humor abound.

 

Seeing the process of design from a behind-the-scenes viewpoint is fascinating, and with the addition of commentary the collection promises to be an interesting read.
