How important is book design
There is an old proverb that a book is greeted by its cover. A person perceives three quarters of information visually. The book as an artifact should confirm this regularity. I mean, first of all, the cover and design of the edition in general. It is they that often become the reason to buy or not to buy.
It is the title and cover that sells, not the content of the book. Unless we are talking about an author-brand, the success of the book depends on the designer, that is, on the exact task and control of execution. The cover is as much packaging as it is for any other product. It has value both for the storage of what’s inside and for explaining what’s inside, as well as for its promotion and advertising. That is the cover should draw attention, to encourage to take the publication in your hands and make a purchase.
When printing books to order, we do not consider the cover design separately from the artistic design of the content. There must be a coherent idea of creating the design of the book, then it becomes clear what the artist made on the cover.
