But what gives life to the book? Well, a stellar book, that’s what.
Book covers have dynamically evolved overtime. From simple background with plains colors dotted with graphical and pictorial elements, to stenciled and embossed texts and pictures, book covers designs have been through their fair share of mutation over time.
There is can be no denying the fact that each era has been ruled by one or a few popular book cover designs throughout the history of literature. The trend seems to be prevalent to the present day. With the sublime amalgamation of modern design tools and new design techniques, designers can create book cover designs that are picturesque works of art on their own.
Here is our take on the best book cover designs that might rule 2022:
Conceptual Cover Sleeves
The design style allows designers to wrap the book into the theme of the book’s content and share a glimpse of the insides in an arty manner without giving away too much.
Parametric Patterns
If there is a fun method to use mathematics and geometry it is this. Parametric designs are invented by blending trigonometry with ratios. Gridlines and contouring are employed where an illusion of depth needs to be extracted from a planar surface.
Parametric Designs are gaining traction because of the fluidity and flexibility that they offer. Simple gridlines and patterns can be exploited to redress any text, image, or shape into a design that is hyperreal and vivid. With sinuous lines and patterns, designers can take the observers right into a surreal realm without much hassle, and with little rigidity and stiffness angularity to simple geometrical lines, the book cover can be dressed into a futuristic ambiance. This allows for a wide range of avenues to explore with little tweaks without compromising on the aesthetic value of the book cover design.
Landscape Mode
For when a little toying around with perspective is required. For almost forever, book covers have stuck to a horizontal approach and adhered to the portrait format. In 2022 however, the tradition seems to be in jeopardy as more and more book covers are donning the artwork in the landscape mode.
And we have no reservations against it. With landscape, mode designers are allowed to be sneaky and book covers can hide an element of surprise for the readers and observers by simply playing around with perspective.
Dystopian Designs
The apocalyptic pandemic has made a dystopian world seem like a tangible reality. While sci-fi books have long been adorned with covers based on dystopian themes, 2022 has embraced them wholeheartedly.
The design theme allows for a much-clear-cut expression, and can simply use the theme of the book’s interior as artwork. Rising concerns for the planet have also been a reason dystopian book cover designs are gaining unprecedented popularity.
Book Cover Designs have come a long way from being simple chromatic screens boasting the author’s name and title to being artworks that tell a story before the real story that sits inside. The craft of designing book covers too has transformed from simple designing into an art that requires honed aesthetic senses, deep creative range, and ingenious design stratagems.
