Design againt fur competition

I am highly interested in this competition:

''Design a creative, compelling campaign poster or animation that delivers the compassionate message that the wearing of fur is cruel and unnecessary. We want the modern world to celebrate all animals and not victimize them by killing them to wear their skins - and we want you to help us make that happen.''

This sounds very appealing to me and i would like to persue this one.

PENGUIN DESIGN AWARD

The penguin award is for a book called 'one hundered years of solitude' by

Gabriel García Márquez. The brief looks to be much more serious:

'' our cover design should reflect the richness of Márquez’s writing to appeal to a contemporary, discerning, literary readership.''

I much preffered the Puffin designers brief, as it was for James and the Giant Peach. The bref was much more appealing to me:

''We are looking for a striking cover design that is well executed, has an imaginative concept and clearly places the book for its market of both children (to pick up and buy for themselves) and adults (to buy for children). ''
