Make a book
that stands out
|
A book cover does more than protect your pages; it defines the entire experience. Covers can turn a photo collection into a coffee table book or a project into something professional. No matter your final product, here’s how to make your first impression your strongest one.

The art of a great cover
|
|
Choose a strong cover image
Choose a compelling image that captures
the essence of your book’s story or theme.
Think: How can I grab someone’s attention from across the room?
Inspiring example: MEMORY CULT
Magazine by MEMORY CULT
This magazine, which features photographers from around the world at every level, used a captivating image to represent their Issue 02 theme: the friction and richness of relational life.

Rather than overwhelming your cover with different fonts and sizes,
clean typography allows your chosen cover photo to take center stage.
Inspiring example: Photolucida
by Critical Mass
To accompany their 2025 photo competition, Critical Mass printed their catalog Photolucinda featuring a striking cover image with small typography carefully placed in the upper
left corner.

Use negative space to create focus and balance. Leaving room around
your subject can make your cover feel more refined and visually striking.
Inspiring example: A Semester Abroad
by Bohdan Lee
This Vancouver-based photographer chose
a minimalist cover look
for his book, which featured images captured during his
exchange program.
