As some of you know, I have a running side gig doing covers for Palgrave, the scholarly and reference division of St. Martin's Press. It's interesting because there are so many constraints leveled on the designs. It at once makes it easier and harder. The above were two books in a series I did over the weekend as a rush job. One was to look more modern. I was probably too subtle on that couse. The left cover uses Penumbra, a somewhat ancient looking serif font, and the right uses Futura, a modern sans-serif. I wonder if anyone noticed the difference? It's probably hard at that size.
