Typography, Design, and Book Covers
One of my favorite design blogs, I <3 Typography, linked to another really neat design blog today. More specifically, to The Book Design Review’s article on the author’s favorite book covers of 2007.
There are some really terrific ones in this post. Ones I found especially interesting:
Like You’d Understand, Anyway - Look For: The Escher-esque intertwined wrestlers.
One Red Paperclip - Look For: The simplistic obviousness of the non-verbal way the title is represented.
Fireproof - Look For: The seeming non-relation of cover to title, and the oddly chilling impression it leaves.
Darkness at Noon & The Yiddish Policeman’s Union - Look For: Obvious shoutouts to Soviet poster design.
Check them all out and if you’re actually able to narrow down a favorite, fill out the poll that author Joseph Sullivan has set up at the bottom of the post.
