It's official, 3 entries have been selected by Specialised Covers as part of the Art Cover Designer Project.

The 3 selected artists are as follows; Stephanie-Rose Turner, Emma Burton and last but not least Bryony-Rose Atkinson. Each have been selected for their unique take on the requirements for the project and have entered art that reflects not only very personal influences, but their artistic capabilities.

Stephanie-Rose Turner's work was chosen for it's raw perspective and visual representation of speed. Turner's work is a modestly masculine piece which has derived from natural forms such as floral influences.

Emma Burton's work is known as the 'Pyjama Cover' here at Specialised Covers and is very commercially viable. The cover can be customised to show patterned images of customers cars and can be produced in several different colours, without demolishing Burton's design.

Bryony-Rose Atkinson's art cover entry was difficult to overlook due to its high impact and immediately attention grabbing designs. Her aesthetically pleasing designs and bright floral patterns attract those that are not typically attracted to feminine designs.

Overall Specialised Cover's have been instilled with excitement in terms of seeing what the future might hold for working alongside innovative artists. We are grateful for all entries and have been thoroughly impressed with the quality of work received.  The 3 chosen covers will be manufactured and presented at the end of year show on the 15th June in the University lecture theatre.  The final decision took much deliberation and was a difficult one at best. Once again, thankyou to those who entered and we look forward to what the future might hold.

Jessica Sammon has created artwork for the Art Cover Project which has been heavily inspired by several elements. “The main inspiration is a scarf range that appealed to me and I loved the designs” says Sammon. She also claims that she took inspiration from White Scar Caves which allows us to understand where the crystallised design has culminated from.

Sammon created the artwork using ink dyes which enabled her to make the granite like appearance which features on the cover. Whilst combining her inspirations, Jessica Sammon has also concentrated on the detail of the artwork and her use of colours.

After receiving designs from over 35 Students from Leeds Collage of Art it made choosing three to manufacture an impossible task.  Specialised have been over whelmed with the response, creativity and quality from all the students.  Choosing only three covers led to many debates as we argued for our favorites.  We spread all the designs out in the offices and let all the staff have a look a the concepts to gain a wide range of feedback.

We considered many aspects including market interest, demand,implementation, cost, wow factor, what cars they would be shown on and of course the ones we just loved.

We have made our decision and will be announcing tomorrow the winners.  However all the covers will feature on our new website which will be live in the next 8 weeks.  So please keep visiting the site for updates.

Monica Elliott has used a theme of fish and vibrant colours for her Art Cover Project. Elliott has combined the use of a collage and an array of colours to result in a exciting and easy on the eye design that makes the viewer want to investigate more.

Elliott's use of a scale like design means that it has been easy to pattern across the entire car. Making the car look as if it is a scaled animal, toying with the natural perception a viewer might have.

Daisy Pedersen has created a simplistic design using influence from her Norweigen decent. The direction of the lines has come from Pedersen wanting to represent the flight patterns of birds through an alternative medium to drawing and has successfully replaced drawn lines with stitches.

The tessellation of the lines create a 2D effect on the car and toy with the overall aesthetics of the car. The lines challenge the natural curves of the car and encourage you to want to explore more.
