Book cover research

• I made a trip to Waterstones to get some first hand inspiration from book cover collections
• Collections of books are extremely popular as it encourages the reader to buy the full collection - becoming collectables
• A lot of the books I saw had very limited colour palette which of course suited my design aesthetic. Either that or each book was one singular colour
• Seeing the books on the shelf together creates such a visual statement and is what really attracts the audience.
• It would be interesting to create some kind of sequence perhaps? so when each book is placed next to each other they somehow link together.
