Make Your Own Penguin Cover
In an incredible design idea, Penguin Books UK is experimenting with using blank art-quality paper for covers:
The tag line is ‘Books by the Greats, Covers by You’, and throughout the rush to design the (back) covers, get the right paper, and tell people about them, we’ve had a really great time. The covers are art-quality paper, and from internal Penguin efforts we know that they hold ink, paint, pencil and glue (see the first efforts here). Each one comes shrink-wrapped so the paper doesn’t get dirty, and I hope people might give them as gifts.
Here’s a sample cover they linked on their blog:
Next, books will come without any text–a “draw your own novel” approach.
