I finished reading Lolita over the weekend, and since I'm really interested in getting into books and publishing I thought I may as well design a cover for my portfolio.
Pretty pleased with it since, having looked at loads of other covers for the book, I haven't used any obvious cliches- instead opting to suggest the point in the book where Humbert and Lolita are driving from motel to motel around America.
The turnaround was also pretty quick - thumbnailing started it last night and the finished thing was done by lunchtime. Will try to keep up this work output and remember to try and illustrate any books I read.
Also, Ben presented this website to the second years:

Which is the portfolio of an interesting book designer I'll keep an eye on.
