A Skateboarder's Journal Book Cover Design Process

A Skateboarder's Journal Book Cover Design Process

A Skateboarder's Journal Book Cover Design Process abduzeedoJun 04, 2019 As a former skateboarder and still avid fan of the sport I try to follow what's going on in that industry especially because, in my opinion, I believe they set a lot of trends in style. I have fond memories of the skateboarding magazines I used to collect in the 90s like Trasher and Transworld. When I saw the post that Tim Bisschop about a hand painted book cover for the "A Skateboarder's Journal" I knew I had to post about it. Tim was also super cool to share a bit of how he did that. It seems simple but the result is like the essence of skateboarding. It's all about the style and simplicity. Tim Bisschop is a graphic designer from Belgium wit an inspiring portfolio focused on Editorial Design, Graphic Design and Typography.

Wingfeather Saga - Book 1 Cover by Nicholas Kole

Wingfeather Saga - Book 1 Cover by Nicholas Kole

This last year I was honored to do a series of cover illustrations for the upcoming hardcover reprint of the Wingfeather Saga. Some of you will remember some of the visdev work I posted a couple years ago while I was working to adapt this story to animation! What some of you might not know, is that the animated film was developed from a wonderful series of books by Andrew Peterson. When I was invited aboard the show project, I immediately immersed myself in the world of his novels, and fell in love with the world of Aerwiar and it’s whimsical cast of characters. The first of which is the wonderful “On The Edge Of The Dark Sea Of Darkness”, which is up for pre-order on Amazon now: https://www.amazon.com/Edge-Dark-Darkness-Wingfeather-Saga/dp/0525653562/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=wingfeather+saga+hardcover&qid=15646 This whole series was a dream to work with, and I’m hopeful that my covers are a small part of getting these out to a richly deserved wider audience!

Spanning Seven Centuries, ‘Judging a Book by its Cover’ Celebrates an Enduring Art

Spanning Seven Centuries, ‘Judging a Book by its Cover’ Celebrates an Enduring Art

Critics have been lamenting the conformity of contemporary book coves for more than a decade, railing against the same abstract blobs and bland stock imagery gracing many titles. The designs are often chosen for their marketability and ease of mass production, two unavoidable, economic factors in today’s literary landscape. An exhibition at The Grolier Club in New York, though, veers in the opposite direction, countering the monotonous, machine-printed images we’re all too familiar with for bespoke designs.
