The Creative Review has an early look at three of the covers for Penguin’s Great Food paperback series to be released in April.
Designed by the wonderful Coralie Bickford-Smith, each cover draws on a decorative ceramic style relevant to the period of the writing.
Meanwhile, in new article for Fast Company Coralie talks about the inspiration behind her book covers:
“I want these books to be cherished like the literature inside,” says Bickford-Smith of her obsessive attention to detail. “If something is well considered, it will entice. People want to explore it, feel it. That design shines through and connects.”
And, if you missed it, my Q & A with Coralie from 2009 is here.
