The cover pics are exsquisite. Shame the Observer quotes are so mediocre.

Lovely work. By the way CR, you referred to the author as 'Peter' ("Haapaniemi has helped to repackage German writer Peter Süskind's two novels from the 1980s").

Love the slightly and intentionally imperfect symmetry in this work. Great attention to details. That's a whole lotta gradient meshing going on! Impressed.

I like seeing the preliminary work. It's inspiring to see how other illustrators alter ideas as they go along.
I like the designs, however I'm not sure the Perfume cover totally represents the feel you get when you read the book.

Really like these covers, they are different to what I thought they might look like. Very illustrative and bold,
nice use of typography. Keep posting things like this, love it!

What happened to the Penguin competition to design the Perfume book jacket?? The closing date for submissions is the 23rd April 2010. Bit strange of them to release a new cover just before the deadline no?
