Idea generation for book cover series

Themes and style

After researching the genre of the books, book cover series that appealed to me, art of the period, and current interpretations of Constructivism, I created another mind map to think of ideas for the book covers themselves. I concluded that I wanted to use a style very loosely influenced by the Russian design of the early half of he 20th century, including:

Soviet style fonts, but with a distressed texture
Duotone with different colours for each book
Black and white images, either converted to outlines or silhouettes, or grayscale photo montage.
