I’m in the process of reading Kurt Vonnegut’s novels in chronological order, and Carin Goldberg’s work on these is amazing. I know this is old news, but with each new book I appreciate the design even more. I remember being drawn to these at bookstores before I was familiar with Vonnegut or design. Each book works well on its own, but they come together in a way that, to me at least, strongly represents his work. They also look amazing next to one another on a shelf. If you’re not familiar with Carin Goldberg’s work, get familiar.
If you’re interested please comment with links to other book cover design series that you think work well.
One of the most recognizable designs on bookshelves today. A testament to creativity, simplicity, and functionality. Simply classic work.
