“I’m excited to have my work appear on bookshelves all over Australia and New Zealand,” said Jonathan Barker.
“Designing for such a popular book that has already been interpreted in many interesting ways - including feature films - was a terrific challenge. It’s a great opportunity and a real honour to be part of this project.”
Judged by Don Grover, CEO of Dymocks, and Reuben Crossman, award-winning designer from Murdoch Books, the competition called for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo book cover design entries from across Australia.
As part of the prize, Barker will also receive the new MacBook Air valued at $2,000, the inclusion of his name on the book as well as 20 copies of the special edition.
