My favourite book cover designs from 2012

Hi,

My resolution for 2013 is to blog more regularly! Anyway, here at long last is a new posting. I’ve listed my favourite book cover designs from 2012. I did notice as I was looking through the different publishers sites how often I saw monotone designs with a pop of red appearing somewhere, and a few below use this technique. It always reminds me of Schindler’s List…

1. Grimm Tales by Philip Pullman (Penguin Hardback Classics)
