A few months ago, I posted an excerpt from a story about Coralie Bickford-Smith – the designer responsible for many wonderful book covers at Penguin Classics.
Well, just today, Design*Sponge (if you don’t know this site, you should!!) posted a more extended interview with Ms. Bickford-Smith. So, I thought I would share it with you here. Click on the link below to see the full post in its natural habitat…
An brief excerpt from the Design*Sponge interview:
…That’s the nature of cover design really – the designs are there to serve the writing, and there’s such a range of material that we design for that a personal style isn’t necessarily what you want the customer to see.

Quick Post: Book Cover Design
Alex Camlin of Da Capo Press chats about his experience, his inspiration, and his work…
An excerpt from The Casual Optimist:
I really enjoy working on books that are a bit off-beat or quirky. Recently, I’ve worked covers for a Karaoke memoir, a history of jetpacks, and a fake autobiography of Steve Jobs. I find that the books with moderate-to-low sales expectations (usually due to their niche subject matter) are the best to work on. Very few people bother to deconstruct what I’ve done, and the off-beat content usually leads to some interesting visuals.

Quick post. Interesting design. I think this is pretty cool and might work nicely in more whimsical applications.
