After struggling to complete the cover for the design contest, http://covers.fwis.com/ has opened my eyes to the truly complicated task of designing covers for books.
Developing ideas and creating content-driven designs for a two page spread is enough to make me want to pull my hair out. I can only imagine the painful work that goes into designing a book.The comments that people leave give great insight as to how certain techniques and visions work while others get lost in the mix. The reviews give a greater insight to the ways that different pairs of eyes see and interpret a designers concept and execution.
In addition to great reviews, the site has some excellent interviews with designers. Check out the interview with designer Jon Gray. Even if you just take a look at all of the amazing covers he has designed you'll be inspired.
