2024 NAIWE Book Cover Design Winner
Network ApprenticeAuthor: Graydon Hubbard
A well-done book cover design! The beauty shown in the large image of a woman in a dress made from the American flag is eye capturing! The title of the book is in a large typeface and matches the grandness of the dress, and the contrast in colors is strong enough for the title to be easily read.
As the cover is surveyed, the money and the crowd are detected and become a second focal point, but even just the American flag alone hints at what topics will be discussed and challenged within this book.
Comments from professional book designer Tamian Wood:
“I like this compilation a LOT. Nicely done making her dress out of a flag! And while the rest of the details are small, and won’t be seen at thumbnail size, the money and crowds will be a nice bonus for anyone who looks closer.
The typography is a bit hard to read because of the serifs and the busy background. And while I’m not a fan of an all white all centered title/sub-title/author, it can be done, if it’s done well. A bolder, san serif font would stand out against the busyness of the dress, and would go a long way to improving this lovely cover. All in all, this one is my winner!”
Congratulations, Graydon Hubbard’s Network Apprentice for being a NAIWE 2024 Book Award winner!
