Book Cover Post - Sora

 I feel like the design of the book cover is very important because there are so many people who pick out a book based on the cover, including myself. Because the book cover is the first thing a reader sees, it is what creates the first impression of the book and can teach us so much of the book. Although I have recently started reading E-books for its convenience, I agree that physical books have something E-books do not have, and have more special editions or changes in the cover. I found it interesting how they mentioned that the cover needs to be an interpreter/translator, because in a sense sometimes the covers of the books carry important messages or meanings that can be later understood after reading. I also can’t imagine how difficult it must be for designers to be able to summarize and try to describe a whole book into a single image without losing aesthetic and meaning.
