Understanding the relationships between texts and visuals by exploring the creation of book cover design in unison with literature.
Participants shall get a better picture on how designers, editors and authors can improve collaboration.
Workshop Outline:
- Introduction - A talk on two book cover case studies on how we create cover concepts and develop designs. Focus on the interrelations between book title, literary theme and book cover.

Present a story, main theme and sketches of visual concepts with emphasis on composition, explaining the mutual relationship between the visual concepts and the main theme. Brainstorming of titles for each visual concept. Participants present their titles for each sketched concept, sharing their thoughts on the mutual relationship between titles and visual concepts.
- Developmental Phase - Development of cover designs with visual elements: imagery technique (illustration, photography, 3D image or typography), aesthetics style, fonts, colours and elements.). Participants share their thoughts and decisions based on the mutual relationship between design visual development and title, main theme and story.
