Websites for book cover.

Design a book cover is not a simple thing to do. It requires many skills to make the covers both related to content and attractive. It is a challenge for designers to arrange the text and image on the cover to present for the book itself. Therefore, the first things before making layout is taking a look at some others work to get more idea about how to design a good cover page.

The first website I found out is:
http://www.ragandboneshop.com/bookcovers.htm
It’s a web for book shop named “Rag and Bone”. It has some impressive book covers that were made by Mark Lerner, a graphic designer. Besides, the web also shows you some of book interiors.

After take a look at book cover of a graphic designer, I would like to introduce to a website that will show the work of design students in St. Francis University.
