Book designs

Great piece about book designs – and how certain covers come to be, not to mention the runners-up for particular covers. I love the analysis included of the different designs, thoughts from the designers themselves, etc. It’s all a process. Love this stuff. Mitchell – you’ll note they discuss Ron’s book!

One of the designers says (and I loved this):

“It’s a little like navel-gazing talking about killed work,” says freelance designer Paul Sahre. “It’s such a part of what you do that putting it out there and going, ‘See, look how great this was,’ or ‘Aren’t I a victim?’ is kind of terrible.’” Most of the time, he thinks, “you end up at some better place after something gets killed.”
