I was testing out a few covers for a client and wanted to share one of my examples – including it’s design secret.
What makes this cover is using a circle shape to contain the photo and finding a photo with a blown out sky at the top (in other words a sky that is completely white). This creates negative space at the top, allowing the image to float free from the top of the circle.
I love this because the circle is a very defined shape, yet the type of photo selected breaks up hard line of the shape.
I used the negative space to include the year for the book. Select a font that works with the style of your cover photo or your book.
Make sure you pin this example!
