I was up early so I spend ten mins on Designworklife. One of many graphic design resource blogs.
The strapline for this site is 'cataloging daily inspiration' - which pretty much sums it up - half an hour every day exposing yourself to creative, well finished world from around the world is the least we can do to stay at the top of our game in this economic climate.
As FDA 2 students you should all be really aware of what is happening in the industry, following trends - looking at the standard of other peoples presentation and making efforts to compete on the same level. You should all be thinking about getting your own work ready to submit to these sites - it's really good publicity and networking for you - you get great exposure and it's brilliant for your CV.
I found that they had a section for book jackets here -
- which included great work by Lucy Stephens and Jarod Taylor, I really like these posters for The Black Keys - the brown background makes them much more interesting, and they have an interesting and sophisticated retail design that useses typography as a pattern, a bit like your camoflage brief.
There are also several coffee shop concepts, this one is fun and this one is beautifully presented - to the standard we expect from you at this stage.
