more covers

These are a couple more covers I found when looking for research. I found this on altpick.com.
They are by the some designer as the Emperor of Paris example in my previous post.
I really like how the designer expands the cover from the back to the front of the entire book.

effective white space...

This design has a very effective use of white space.
It is a simple design, but juxtaposition of the words and their contrasting sizes really help get the message across of actions being greater than words.
The white space surrounding the design helps emphasize the size differences and creates a focal point on actions because it is in the center of the canvas.

This is an awesome website I found.
It's a kerning game, and a great way to practice your skills.
