Judge the Book by Its Cover?
They say you should never judge the book by its cover. But, well, people DO judge the book by its cover.
So we thought long and hard about how to do the covers for My Coffee Cup Meditations.
“They should be warm and inviting, on the one hand, and yet also they should communicate that they are interrelated and that they have a family likeness,” was the opinion of one person.
And so the idea began to develop. Quadrants, perhaps somewhat in the configuration of the cross. A transparency to hold the title; a texture to hold the logo (don’t you love the steaming coffee icon?) and a warm, inviting, perhaps steaming image of coffee to go in the right sector of the cover.
Oh, yes, the fonts, too; they should be crisp, elegant, dignified, inviting… and the back of the book should have appeal as well.
Judge the book by its cover? Go on, why not just this one time!
