Thyroid Posted May 17, 2013 Warning: 45 images. I thought I'd post this, since the podcast lamented the lack of good Gatsby covers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laxan Posted May 17, 2013 Was expecting 20 images of green lights and 20 yellow cars, but was pleasantly surprised! Particularly like the headless tux one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Codicier Posted May 17, 2013 Think the headless Tux is the stand out image by a country mile, felt like the only one trying to say something about the characters and not just the era. (though i do like the illustration style on the one by Marc Aspinall). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coods Posted May 18, 2013 Man, can we make a book cover design thread? Infinite Jest is a fairly recent book, which i think explains how most of its covers use the same motifs somewhat, this (apparently Italian) one is my favorite: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tegan Posted May 21, 2013 Man, can we make a book cover design thread? Please please please oh please. I'm a sucker for a good book cover; I'd love to be able to design some. My all-time favourite: Battle Royale, first English edition. The current editions are covered with junk, whereas the stark simplicity of the original really struck a chord with me. The rifle formed by the negative space between the two silhouettes took me months to notice (and even longer to notice that the I in Takami is dotted with a bomb).

Sententia Posted May 21, 2013 I never realized the Battle Royale manga was based on a book by the same guy. I just chewed those up at my local library as a teen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
