What are the four basic book cover design routes? | all-type type-driven image driven visual-verbal synergy |
Open Form | a composition where the major movements within the composition oppose the edges (think diagonals) or direct our eyes past the boundaries of the format. |
Closed Form | a composition where the internal elements echo a page’s edges to a great extent and the viewer’s focus is kept tightly within the format. |
Asymmetrical Balance | an equal distribution of visual weights achieved through weight and counterweight, by balancing one element with the weight of a counterpointing element, without mirroring elements on either side of a central axis. |
Symmetrical Balance | an equal distribution of visual weights, a mirroring of equivalent elements on either side of a central axis; also called reflection symmetry. |
Type Driven (Book Cover Design) | when the title of the book (title-driven) or the author’s name (name-driven) is the predominant visual element |
Image Driven (Book Cover Design) | the image is the predominant visual element on the cover—the one doing the most work to attract the viewer |
Visual-Verbal Synergy (Book Cover Design) | When type and image are inseparable, totally integrated |
