Penguin Books award-winning book cover designer Coralie Bickford-Smith (mentioned previously here and here) discusses her experiences, influences, book cover designs, and more, in a great interview over at design:related :
When I feel intimidated I just start making stuff so that before I can get frozen, something interesting is already grabbing my attention and keeping my mind occupied. As every designer has a different approach to a title, I try not to think “what would so-and-so do” and instead remind myself that my own approach is what I should be aiming for. Books are rich, wonderful things – there’s always something new you can bring out of them. Some people have to keep finding ways to package soap powder – I’ve got a lot more to go on with Crime and Punishment.
