Trinity Cotton has done it again-short listed for a second consecutive year in a competition for students or new graduates at Australia's largest annual international design event. The Bachelor of Arts (visual communication) student redesigned the covers of three books for the "NewStar" competition at the AGIdeas International Design Week in Melbourne, May 4-7. Trinity enjoyed reading The bell jar, Hunting and gathering and Looking for Alibrandi when younger but wanted to improve the look of the books. "A cover can influence whether you will pick the book up or not," she says, adding that the former covers "did not do the books justice." A digital exhibition of Trinity's artwork, along with that of the other short listed entries, ends at Melbourne Museum on Sunday (May 24).
