What makes a good book cover?
Sat 13.04
Bergen Offentlige Bibliotek, Storsalen
How does a book cover influence how we perceive a literary work? Is there a recipe for a good book cover? Meet two of the country’s most high-profile designers in conversation.
Don’t judge a book by its cover, the proverb goes.
The cover is the first thing we see when we’re about to read a book, and can have a big effect on how we perceive the text. At the same time, most readers seldom think about what makes a good cover and good book design.
Talk organized by Bergen Public Library. OBS: This talk will be in Norwegian.
