Whilst doing some research I discovered Coralie Bickford-Smith in the back of a library book on Penguin book cover designs. Having never head of her, and due to my family being completely confused about Graphics, I was overloaded with excitement. I have emailed her, and we are planning to meet and discuss design in a few weeks.
You must check out her work, it is endless. She gained a degree in typography at Reading University, and has a rich reputation of success:
