Research - Book Covers [Spines]

Spins of the books are very important, this can make the design of the book continue to flow, with the front and the back of the book. Some stretch the image over both sides of the book by using the spine, and some use it to stop and cut the image, and change the colour to make the title stand out. Nearly all books use the spine to show the title, the authors name, and the publisher's logo. I wanted to get ideas from my research images of the spines, on what I could do to mine own spine.

These books have very different colours, and if you notice some of the books don't have a title, or any information on the side of the spine at all. One book has an image on the side of the spine, you can create many different designs on the spine of books, this all matters on if the spine of the book is wide enough to add a image, or any information at all.









This images shows the different sizes of the spines hat can be created. This also gives you a clue on what you can add no the spine, depending on the size of the book. The widest book, only have a small piece of information, although they have placed it upright instead of sidewards which most books have.
