Seriously Comical

“Don’t Judge Book by Its Covers”.

So the old wisdom said. However, cover books has been made for us to be judged, naturally. Well, at least that theory works on me. Today I found an interesting article on Smashing Magazine with the title: Excellent Cover Books and Paperbacks, and I don’t know why, I was really amused to see all of them. It is said that an effective book cover manages to catch human’s eye and convey the idea behind the book on one single page. However, it’s getting even harder: to make a book really hard to forget, designers need to design the cover in a unique, creative and striking way. Here’s some of them:

Clockwork Orange

Exile and The Kingdom

Nikelleo Rellana’s Work

Soviet Science Fiction

St. Cyber

War Gaming

The Creative Process (I have this one, and it’s a good book!)

A General Theory of Love

One Red Paperclip
