Target audience portrait:

Ukrainians and citizens of foreign countries. A wide audience interested in photo chronicles.


Main task:

Create the cover design and the design of the internal content block of the photo chronicle.


Book title, author, its theme:

"For Ukraine, for its fate, for honor and freedom, for the people" (for the 100th anniversary of the Ukrainian National Revolution of 1917-1921).


Theme: historical photo chronicle.


Your wishes regarding the color scheme and overall style of the design (educational manual, poetry collection, historical publication, children's book, etc.)

Cover. Hard. There are no preferences regarding the color scheme. The cover may include illustrations, other images, heraldry, or other symbols characteristic of that time (1917-1921).

Content internal block. It contains black-and-white photographs from that period with minimal information about the events depicted. Here, a layout needs to be developed for both regular pages and spread pages. Therefore, we ask you to propose an original unified style for placing photographs on pages and spread pages.


Desired way to record the author's name on the cover (first and LAST NAME, First and Last Name, or other).

No author's name on the cover.


Presence of the author's portrait or photograph – optional.

No portrait.


Presence of a second title (for example, A Book about Human Fate, Pages of History of Our Capital), if available.

No second title.


Is the cover being created for the first time or are you updating an existing one?

For the first time.


What should be the ratio of text to graphics on the cover?

30/70


What should be depicted on the cover?

The design of the illustration should correspond to the spirit of that time, be interesting in idea, and suitable for sale.

What should definitely be avoided when creating the cover – what colors, images, concepts? Why?

Primitivism, lack of creativity, and mediocre fonts.

In what format do you want to receive the source material?

295 (width) x 270 (height). Electronic format jpeg.


Additional information:

This competition is just a trial action aimed at selecting a designer(s) for further work on the photo chronicle. Based on the results of the competition, individuals whose presentation style, creative flight, and willingness to work are most appealing will be invited to serious and well-paid work on the photo album.

As a result of the previous competition announced by us, two winners were involved in the work on the album, received decent rewards, and were invited to its presentation (photo attached). The result of their design creativity is currently in the libraries of the top officials of the state.

Updates
Update #1

For a general understanding of the entire task, we will primarily be interested in the creative vision:

a) the cover;

b) the section title page (the list of sections is provided in the task);

c) the photo chronicle page (spread format)

d) the photo chronicle page (single page format)

e) the design of the endpaper.

However, this is not an exclusive list. The main thing is to find a general style for the book that would appeal to the client. The rest - we will agree on.
