First published in 2001 Noughts & Crosses deals with racism, terrorism, the class system and the artificial divides we always seem to put between ourselves and others. It is as relevant now as it was then.
Previous Covers:
Each of the designs has an element of the noughts and crosses shape. Although this works effectively with the typography, it is an overused design and does not reflect the greater meaning in the story.
The above front covers have been taken from the leading book seller Waterstones. Each book is categorised as being for teenage/young adult readers. Although each cover has it's individual appearance, they each have strong elements of illustration that work in unison with the typography. This corresponds with the requirements of the brief - 'be competently executed with strong use of typography'.
