\"Kelpies<\/a>We are very excited to announce that Edinburgh-based illustrator Astrid Jaekel is the winner of the inaugural Kelpies Design & Illustration Prize<\/strong>!<\/a> We made the announcement at an award ceremony last night at Edinburgh’s Gallery Seventeen<\/a>, where we will also be showcasing the ten shortlisted entries this weekend.<\/p>\n

Astrid’s design for the cover of The Sign of the Black Dagger<\/em> by award-winning author Joan Lingard really stood out for the judges; they loved her sophisticated use of colour, as well as the way she used mirrored images of Edinburgh to hint at the story’s dual narrative.<\/p>\n

\"Astrid<\/a><\/p>\n

Astrid received a \u00a3250 cash prize and will work with the Floris design team to produce the final cover for the book, which will be published in the autumn.<\/p>\n

Two commended designers, Mark Doyle and Victoria Pickford, were also awarded a cash prize of \u00a350 each. The judges loved the way Mark’s design captured the helter-skelter architecture of Edinburgh’s Old Town, while they thought Victoria’s use of spots of bright colour against a dark background conjured up the perfect atmosphere for the story.<\/p>\n

We want to say a huge thank you to everyone who entered the Kelpies Design & Illustration Prize<\/strong><\/a>. The response was fantastic and we hope to build on that in years to come. Keep your eyes peeled for details of next year’s Prize!<\/p>\n
