Cover I Like Today


Water for Elephants:

While I understand the book is predictable — some might even argue sappy — the cover is wonderful, with a superlative circus photo and sophisticated-yet-approachable title treatment. Well done!

Super cool cover, I agree.

I saw this in the bookstore yesterday and the script font on the word “for” was replaced by the san serif font.

I think the title type is a little awkward.…not sure that the treatment really adds to the overall design. The photograph is beautiful though.

Ew. Not a change I’d be in favor of.
