Response: Book cover designing

Designing book covers is not easy. It's quite a bit different from designing a department page or a feature spread. While its still about visual storytelling, you have to think more on the marketing sign of designing. You only have a couple seconds to sell someone on the book, it has to be eye-catching enough to keep the potential reader from continuing to walk by. While it has to be eye-catching, it also has to capture the overall feel of the book in just a small little space, which was what I struggled with. I really liked the image that they provided for us but I had a lot of fun working with different typography.
