What do you think? Do well designed book covers influence your purchase? How about when it comes to ebooks? I'm guessing that ebooks rely less on cover design, but I could be wrong. Feel free to discuss!

Working Wednesdays: Striking cover images
I know, I know...you aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover, however, sometimes I really think it does help sell a book. I designed the following three book covers for Pearson (formally known as Prentice Hall). The minute I saw the images, I was immediately inspired. Aren't these images great? Side note: I enjoy designing back covers just as much as front covers.

I think cover images are just as important in ebooks. Ebooks are often self-published, and quite a few of them really *look* self-published. A professional-looking cover helps a self-published ebook be taken more seriously, I think.
ReplyDeleteI really like the textiles cover above!
Thanks Lisa good point. I hadn't thought of folks who self publish and probably lack design skills. BTW, I love the textiles cover too! :)
