Type Specimen Book

Three Book Series Combos

A few layouts for the bookcover.

Three Book Series

I still like this design.

Type Specimen Book v3

I hope this looks better.

Three Book Series v2

This is the theme I believe I'll be going with for the other two books in the series as well: six pictures representative of themes/events in the book and earth tone color themes. I'm thinking of giving the photos an aged look by manipulation in Photoshop.

Series Book Covers

These books will be the inspiration for my three book series. I like so many covers on bookcoverarchive.com so there's a lot of inspiration there. I would like to do something that's not very typical but keeps the classic feel for these books.

I also searched for a color palette that I liked and came across this site. Although the topics have nothing to do with one another, I must say I was very pleased with the majority of these palettes!
