Here is a collection of interesting book covers, the thing that attracted me to these covers, were the simplicity of a lot of them especially the far right two. i think as images they are very strong. it is this simplicity that i would to look at achieving in my front cover.
What do i really like about this? not a lot, i shouldn't of bothered up loading this. i guess its a target not to achieve, out of line text and a horrid colour scheme.
I like the bold illustration style used on this book cover, with out the colour is perhaps this style that i could try and emulate? the centred type is also nice. your eyes are however immediately drawn to the eye.
This i think is my favourite cover, it pushes the boundaries of legibility, and i like this, i like the way it is kept to two colours, doesn't over complicate the image.
Another example of a modernist book cover, which i like, simplicity wins the days again.
Controversial topic, portrayed in an unlikely way, the kind of book you would pick up off the shelf due to its cover, and then realise what it is about, and put it down immediately, or continue reading with interest.
I like this style of cover, basic colour schemes and layout. doesnt over complicate anyting.
Example of a survival guide, what i dont like about this one is the text. However i like the way in which the illustration looks hand rendered.
I really like the typeface used on this series of book, i think its important for these find of books to have seriffed typefaces.
example of a formal layout. the page on the left i like the way that the picture takes Centre stage.
Text heavy, interesting typefaces used, perhaps a combination of typefaces is something worth trying for myself.
