To celebrate the partnership, WeTransfer will exhibit the covers of five of Penguin’s recent limited edition Street Art series to its 20 million monthly active users.
The book covers, designed by leading artists, including Nathan Burton, Sickboy and 45RPM, will take over WeTransfer’s full-screen backgrounds in the form of multiple still life photographs displaying a range of Penguin authors. When people click on each of the photographs, they will be taken through to Penguin’s online store for further information.
Titles in this series include:
Joshua Ferris,
Then We Came to the End
(Cover: 45RPM)
Nick Cave,
And the Ass Saw the Angel
(Cover: ROA)
Zoë Heller,
The Believers
(Cover: Sickboy)
Iain Sinclair,
American Smoke
(Cover: Nathan Burton)
Zadie Smith,
Embassy of Cambodia
(Cover: gray318)
The collaboration is part of an ongoing partnership between Penguin Books and WeTransfer in a bid to bring together print and digital creativity. All of these books are already available to buy – the next series of covers will be premiered on WeTransfer later this summer.
This is the latest in a number of creative partnerships for WeTransfer who have recently collaborated with the British Fashion Council, experience designer Nelly Ben and Where’s Wally?
Interviews and further comment can be provided on request.
