Think this will be a fun brief and will allow me the time to think about ‘me’ and my protential futher which is something I tend to put to the back of my head as its scary!
I want to think about goals and best possible solutions.

Again I like this brief as it allows me to just create art work/draw, and then take into print.


Create new illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland’s 150th anniversary year
Background
When people think of Alice, they think of The Macmillan Alice: her blue dress, blonde hair and ‘Alice band’. Curious Alice, the iconic White Rabbit, the formidable Queen of Hearts and the Mad Hatter are amongst the best-loved literary creations across generations and Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is now widely acknowledged as one of the most influential children’s books of all time.
2015 is the 150th anniversary of the publication of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – one of the most important books in our long history – and as part of our celebrations we will publish the authentic and most complete range of Alice titles in print, digital and audio, for all readers to enjoy and love. Sir John Tenniel’s iconic artwork, coloured by Harry Theaker, and the extensive Macmillan archive will be at the heart of this celebratory publishing event.
It is not only Carroll’s story that remains a perennial favourite. The ‘adventures’ were brought to life by John Tenniel, first as black-and-white plates and then with coloured versions of the original drawings. When his eyesight began to fail, Tenniel gave approval to Macmillan to ask Harry G. Theaker to complete sixteen new colour plates, and it is these illustrations that established the iconic image of Alice – her blue dress, blonde hair and ‘Alice band’ - that everyone recognises today. Macmillan still has copyright in these illustrations and it is a Theaker image that is presented on the new The Macmillan Alice anniversary logo.

Macmillan Children’s Books also publishes Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy’s work for children and has an extensive poetry list.
The Creative Challenge
Create a new cover and up to two wondrous interior page illustrations for one of our most precious pieces of heritage: Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Your illustrations should enchant a whole new readership and, although you must include a front cover, you are free to choose a couple of scenes from the book. These might be new interpretations of scenes that have been drawn before or entirely new ones – it’s up to you. We are entirely open to styles of illustration too.
A selection of entries will be displayed at our offices in King's Cross, on our website and on the Alice Facebook page.
Target Audience
Our primary audience is parents of girls aged 5-9. Our secondary audience is parents of boys aged 5-9 and gift givers, such as grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.
Mandatories
The cover design must include the Macmillan Alice 150 logo.
Creative Requirements
New cover design for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland which must be 270mm (H) x 215mm (W), and supplied as a PDF. The Macmillan Alice 150 logo can act like a sticker on the cover so please supply one illustration with it included in the artwork and one without.
1-2 interior page illustrations from scenes within the book which must sit within a 270mm (H) and 215mm (W) single page, and be supplied as a PDF. Please also include the page number from the Macmillan Classics edition of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland along with your illustrated scenes. As there are many different versions of the Alice books out there, we want to make sure that you’re working to the correct version so that we can easily link it up with the right scene. You can purchase the correct edition from:



as I studied Lewis Carroll for my last project I have quite a good understanding of he’s work and therefore would like a opportunity to apply my knowledge to a different brief.

Like the idea of just being able to draw the scenes in own style




Interflora
Boost awareness of Grandparents’ Day to the younger consumer
Who are we?
As the UK and Ireland’s most recognised name in flower delivery, for over 90 years Interflora have been trusted by millions to hand craft and deliver floral gifts to loved ones worldwide. Across the UK and Ireland over 1,800 florist shops make up our delivery network, offering named day and same day delivery services – even delivery within 3 hours. Internationally, our network extends to over 40,000 florist shops, providing the capability to deliver to over 140 countries.  Our customers have the option to purchase online via telephone or through one of our florist shops.
Over recent years, a vast number of brands have begun competing within the flower delivery market. From high street names such as Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Next and Waitrose, to online brands such as Arena Flowers, Serenata Flowers and Flowers Direct. It goes without saying that the consumer has plenty of choice of who to entrust and in the case of high street names, established relationships, together with an appreciation of the brand’s quality, give consumers a confidence to choose these brands to deliver their flowers. 
Interflora's product range has expanded over recent years to provide our customers with a greater choice of gifting options.  Our network of expert florists differentiates us from our competitors - bringing with it award winning design skills and service with a true personal touch. Christmas, Valentine's and Mother's Day remain our key gifting periods. We have recently started promoting and raising awareness of Grandparents’ Day as we feel this is a perfect flower gifting occasion.  Our range of courier flowers provide the ability for us to remain price competitive (offering flowers from as little as £19.99 delivered), together with an extended range of niche flower varieties.

WOW
WOW! is the reaction we want every time a recipient opens their front door and is presented with a stunning Interflora bouquet, exceeding all expectations.

The Creative Challenge
Grandparents’ Day was established in America in the 1970s and is celebrated all over the world.  It was introduced to the UK by Age Concern in 1990 and is always celebrated on the first Sunday in October.
There are 14 million grandparents living in the UK, 80% of whom provide some hands-on care for their grandchildren. More than ever, grandparents play an important role in modern society and we want to raise awareness of everything they do to help family life by encouraging people to start marking ‘Grandparents’ Day’ in their calendars as a special occasion to thank grandparents across the country.
As well as grateful Mum’s who want to thank their own parents for the help they provide with childcare we want to target young adults who probably don’t see their own grandparents as much as they would like with their busy lifestyles, or live far away meaning they only visit a few times a year. 
We feel that this is a genuine gifting occasion and a perfect fit for the Interflora brand, what better way to show your love for your grandparents than with a bouquet of Interflora flowers!
Our brief to you
Grandparents’ Day currently has very low public awareness and our brief to you is to create an integrated campaign for Grandparents’ Day 2015, gaining exposure for Interflora and driving brand awareness amongst younger consumers.
We want the campaign to engage with younger consumers, specifically young adults who have disposable income available to spend on a bouquet of flowers for their grandparents.
Creative Requirements
Your ideas must be unique and appealing to a young adult audience. The campaign must adhere to our brand guidelines and encompass our brand values. We would like your ideas to be highly creative and able to work across all channels of communication. Which channels you choose to articulate the ideas in is entirely up to you, but we want to see a few examples of how the campaign will work across various media formats.
Please note that although we have alternative colour options in our brand guidelines for our logo, our preference is that the gold logo on black background version is used.
In summary the campaign needs to:
• Drive brand awareness
• Promote the Interflora brand/our florist expertise/our Grandparents’ Day range
• Reflect our Brand Values
• Reach out to new customers (young adults)
• Highlight our USPs
• Use a variety of media and work across all our channels of communication



Because I have a close family myself, I think it is a nice idea to appreciate grandparents and I don’t see them as often as I used too and therefore appreciate what they are and do for me more.

Like the idea of creating work with floral design.
