Book Covers Before & After
We’re always inspired to see the way our imagery can be used creatively in book cover design!
Sometimes one photo can make a perfect book cover with just the addition of a title, but it’s also fascinating to see designs where elements are cropped, colours are changed, or different images are blended into a composite design.
Here are a few of our favourite international book covers, together with the original images that were used!
