Book design

Some general research into the aesthetics of pleasing book design


I really like this. So simple and so effective. Nice use of paper and layout.


This is a really effective use of theme. I like the end papers the colours and the book jacket being cut to represent the sea. Clever, well thought out - designed with a purpose.


This is a good use of colour, shape and imagery. I am drawn to the yellow and it contrasts well with the grey. 


Clever use of papercut. 


This is an interesting bind. It's effective because not only is it practical, it's also an entire design in itself. 


Similarly, this bind is nice. I like how the middle stitch continues over the whole cover.
