Classic Literature Covers

Classic Gothic Novels by Nikola Klímová

- Monochrome colours contrasted with one or two vivid colours. Creates appealing contrast.
- Similar theme through the books - to show part of the same redesign.
- Added feature of ribbon bookmark - sophisticated.
- Quirky, tall, modern typeography.

Classic literature:

- This has been a recent trend: a repeating image for classic literature book covers.
- Imagery relates to contents of book.
- Attractive, simplistic typography. Modern. Quirky, yet elegant.
- Bright, engaging, contrasting colours.
- Attractive loose, illustrative lines.


Other ideas for gothic literature:

- Showing "other side" of the character. Monster vs. man. Light vs. dark. All common themes in gothic literature.
- Strictly black and white.

- Using typography to show different sides of personality - reverse text.

- Making use of the physically bound book. Using the book flaps to create an image which relates to the story of the book.
