Book cover designs

2008

These various book covers were all created for Haworth Press. Haworth Press specialized in the production of scientific and medical journals. Their cover guidelines were somewhat narrow, so I had to find creative ways to add individuality to them. It was always my goal to create book covers that I thought would be appealing and attention getting. I also wanted to communicate the idea of each book in a way that would make the essence of the book clear even at a glance. Bookshelves in bookstores are packed and I made it my business to create covers that would stand out in a crowd!

In addition, I tried to steer away from using stock imagery. So many publishing companies now think that good design is just slapping some relevant images down with some pretty text. I don't agree, and so I wished for my covers to speak without words.
