After reading this article from PRINT magazine I got a sense of what it is like to be a book jacket designer. It’s a hard task to please your client, and not every book jacket will be designed perfectly the first time around. There are many factors that go into creating a successful book jacket, it hats be a new and exciting design, related to the text one way or another, and it has to be eye-catching in order to sell. However, to create a successful book jacket sometimes you have to rethink your designs. Reading this article made me realize that as a designer its okay to rethink your idea, redesign it, or just start over. In my personal experience redesigns have been more successful and I’m always happier with the end product than I was with the original. Pictured below are examples of book jackets that have been redesigned.
