TYPO Berlin 2016: Book Cover Design with Langesommer and Indre & Laura Klimaite

Topic, genre, story, author and title—a book cover has to summarize many levels. The title wants attention, tries to arouse curiosity and is looking for the potential reader.

In our workshop you will get an insight into the typographic design of book covers and develop the strongest possible image and concepts with limited tools. We focus on basic means and strict restrictions to encourage a rapid work flow and creative solutions.
