This website has some cool logos and icons!  Inspires me to create bolder and more graphical designs for my hummingbirds.

Type I Post #3: Good Book cover design

This is one of the additional examples that caught my eye.  I was drawn to this because the title has been sort of incorporated into the first paragraph, and I also love how it has been emphasized with the red color.

Book cover with futura font.  This drew me in because of the vertical titles and names, size contrasts, and the slight spacing in between the letters.  Also it's really nice how the quote is perfectly fitted within the neck of the bird, creating additional movement to the up and down variations of the titles and author's name.  

Obviously, this futura font cover attracted me because of the boldness of its letters.  I was attracted to the contrast between black and white and diagonal of the authors name and "A Novel."  Overall I am a big fan of boldness and I think that this book cover definitely conveys that pop of bold attraction. 

Futura typeface- I really really like the flowiness of the text and the contrast between bold and all caps, italics, and roman.   

Didot is the typeface used for this cover.  I think it's neat how the  words go diagonally, and the sizes of the typefaces vary.  Also I love how the title is highlighted in  black and the other words are contrasted in red. In addition, there's words that go vertically down the cover, and i think it's a nice touch too.

This cover was really neat to me.  I like how the ends of the letters within the futura font become illustrations, yet the type is still the main focus of this cover.  I like also the asymmetry that the title and the author's name creates, because it makes for smooth movement down the entity of the cover.

I think that this futura font cover is really awesome for its simplicity, yet boldness.  The contrast between the black and white is classy, simple, and clean.  I love also how the other little elements border the boldness of the "Beckett."  This shows how you can make something simple yet eye-catching at the same time.

This is a cover using the didot typeface.  It struck me because it has a clear sense of hierarchy within its title.  Also, I like how the title is not capitalized, and the second part is all capitalized creating a nice balance and visual interest.  

Simple, yet effective.  This cover uses very few elements and it also has a clear hierarchy.  I like the lightness of the typeface and the light feel: also the eye is drawn into a curved motion around this cover. 

LOVE the asymmetrical/ curved placements of all the different text elements, and the hints of red!

This futura font example of a book cover is interesting and i love the different weights of the typefaces.  In addition I like the contrast of the vertical and horizontal line arrangements, and the way my eye moves from the left to the right.  

I love the integration of text and images!

Another didot cover composition. I like the spacing of the letters and the lightness of the typeface! In addition, I am in favor of the subtle splashes of color. This cover also uses a very clear hierarchy and interesting text variations.  

This would be a cool idea for one of my new compositions.  The broken up and blown up letters/ words really inspire me to do something like this similar for my project.  It's definitely an abstraction and a new way of looking at how to make art with type.    

I fell in love with this bold text and size variations.  I think this is interesting and would make for another cool idea for one of my new layouts.
