Colophon: Artwork found somewhere on the internet (I know, I'm getting worse at this). Type is Jenson, Onyx, Bulmer, Runic, and Poplar. Colors are Pantone 292 and 294.
This has been the most contentious cover of them all, and I like to think that that's not why I love it so much. The very people who call it beautiful and a great aesthetic are the same people who say it's too cramped to be a book jacket. I don't think anybody denies that it's good design; the question is whether it's a good cover. I still have to learn that the two can sometimes be mutually exclusive. Hope all is going well for you; I'll call you this weekend when I'm finally done with workshop.
