Be sure to check out some of the ingenious book covers on Fwis. One of the most interesting designs I've seen have been of book covers for religious publications. The designers of these covers, most notably the one shown here, have taken the subject of Christianity and faith issues and created covers that push the envelope and present the topic in an interesting way. At first glance, before you're ever given the chance to read the title, use of color and typography grips you. The designs put content driven twists on faith and in the Faith and the City, love the title, the designer used a great Victorian typeface to contrast with the modern concept of the book itself.
Look at what I found
Looking around for background on typography and graphic styles in Ladies Home Journal I came across HowDesign. The website has a lot of great blogs, forums and articles about things going on in the design world. Your Creative Life featured a piece about typography and how older fonts are just as useful today as they were at their conception. For a typographic junkie like me, looking at all the different fonts and learning their history was great fun.
