Alice in Wonderland - Book Cover Design

Below are some typography examples that I think are interesting to be used for collectors books or children's books. I like the elegant, ornate feeling these have and I feel they could be useful as drop caps for the title of the book.

Alice in Wonderland

Just some visuals that I am using to inspire my designs for my book cover imagery...

Alice in Wonderland - Book Cover Design

These are some screen shots of the Disney version of Alice in Wonderland, with a focus of the typography used. As you can see, the words "Drink me" have quite an organic, calligraphic flair to them, yet the main text from the credits is all uppercase and has only slight serifs. I think this makes the longer chunks of text in the credits easier to read, while having shorter words such as the "Drink me" on the bottle neck, they can be more elaborate as they are shorter and can be read quicker.

Jenny Grigg - Book Covers

I think these book covers made by Jenny Grigg are great! They are made from manipulated paper and are created as covers for books by Peter Carey. I love the way the layers create a depth to the imagery and how well the images are illustrated, considering it is only paper!

New Zealand Book Council

This Video has made the rounds on all the design blogs and blogs that focus on paper but I feel it is really appropriate for my design practice. I love how paper engineering has been used in a creative way to promote the New Zealand Book Council. I think its great how something that could be so dull, has been created in such an innovative way. The whole video draws you in and makes you want to find out more and keep watching, and the animation is really well suited too. This is great research for my book cover design brief and my library promotion brief too.
