Gotta Fave?

Right now we’re working on the CARTOON MODERN cover design. In books, sometimes the cover choice is obvious and presents itself early on in the design process; other times it takes a lot of searching and experimenting before you find the right idea. This book is definitely of the latter variety, which is somewhat ironic, because one would think that a book with so many visual riches would mean the cover would be an easy decision. In fact, I think it’s a testament to the diversity of design in 1950s animation that has made it such a challenge finding the best way to represent it.

Check out the options here.

Thanks to the Theorist.

I tried posting this on their site, but seemed to be having trouble.

Regardless, I think any of the covers would stand out on the stand, but I couldn’t help but try and put together a combination of what I find to be the better elements:
