Research for book cover series

Penguin book covers


Moving on from constructivist graphic design which makes use of photo montage, I am inspired by these classic 1960s Penguin book covers.  I would like to develop my ideas by using duotone for the design as these book covers have done, and create a retro feel by using a similar layout and photography, but with a Russian style typeface. The imagery of each cover is treated differently - photography, silhouette, flat images - I will experiment with these styles. The typeface on all these designs is sans serif, which is a design feature I will use.


























The covers below are another simple but powerful series of Penguin designs.
