Lots of book covers
Wednesday, May 7th, 2008When reading this somewhat average post from Smashing Magazine (average when compared to the excellent quality of the stuff they usually provide: I think their game lies in web design resources), I sure didn’t expect to end up finding a link to book cover paradise. 6,179 book covers posted so far.
This reminded me of the Most Coveted Covers Forum newsletter from Readerville to which I have subscribed for a few years. It’s been a bit slow lately, but it’s a good service, with insightful reviews from passionate analysts.
And as a bonus, a share a link to Book Covers, a site dedicated entirely to this subject, which sports a nice feature on John Gall, a long time favorite of mine.
It’s funny to look back just a couple of years and realize that, when graduating from college, I was pretty sure I’d specialize in designing books and book covers, only to find out a few months later that I’d be designing and developing user interfaces—and now actually sure this is what I really want to do for a living. Life is full of twists!
