These book covers were designed as a response to a D&AD typography brief asking to design a series of book covers that would be suitable for Faber Faber’s, Faber Film print on demand service. The print on demand service is exactly as it sounds – books are printed when ordered in short runs to help keep costs down and to enable a huge back catalog of publications to be available.
There maybe no strong concept behind the designs but I believe my solution answered the brief solidly. The template for each sub-genre is the same through out, providing a good template for each cover and keeping the identity of the covers constant across the range, whilst the colour separates them from one another i.e blue for screenplays, green for technique and grey for film history. Simple designs help with easy, cost effective printing and are designed to be printed on satin or matte paper stock with the option of having the text spot varnished.
