Text is the most important content to convey information in the cover, and it is also an important starting point to accurately convey the nature and style of books. The text appearing on the cover includes the title of the book, the title of the series, the name of the author, the name of the publishing house, the description of the content, etc. , all need designers to strategize and can't be set at will. Therefore, designers should consider the font, spacing, line spacing, number of words, text arrangement direction and other aspects of the cover.

2. Layout

According to the different types of books, the emphasis on design will be different. For example, for books of science and technology or literature, the cover design tends to use words instead of pictures. At this time, designers can't pile up words and pictures at will, but can only convey double interests, but can't give people aesthetic feeling and artistic enjoyment. Book designers should pay attention to the processing of pictures, the size of words, the layout of pages, etc., so that pictures and words must be unified with each other in order to convey information and give people a sense of rhythm.

Step 3: Image

Image is an important factor of active cover, and the visual impact of image is much stronger than that of text, which means a good image is worth a thousand words. Especially in this era of fast food culture, the instant attraction of images is even more important. Images can assist text and help the public understand the connotation of cover design. Because images can express the concepts and ideas in the designer's mind intuitively and concretely, they can turn what was plain and abstract into powerful visual language and create strong visual effects.

Step 4 color

A good cover design should be complex, simple and not empty, with a clear priority, which means that simple graphics should have ancient content. In the use of color, we should make more fuss to make people feel that there is an atmosphere, artistic conception or style contained in it. Successful cover design should be emotional, such as rigorous scientific and technological reading, serious political reading, lively children's reading and so on.
