It's WORLD BOOK DAY !

Book covers are amazing pieces of design - they have to communicate the story (without giving away too much), hold a title, the author, the publisher ...it's a lot to communicate in a small space.
Have a look at this clip where a book designer explains how he works through the process.

Have a look at this article by the BBC that looks at the most cliched book cover genres & how we're taken in by them.
