59 Vintage Book Covers

amanda — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 12:48:17 +0000

This weekend I was cruising through flickr and came across this group called Book Cover Club. To my surprise (and delight!) they were all vintage book covers. Nothing pleases me more than some vintage in my life!

Some of these books are so ridiculous like the sexual fantasy ones, but the cover is still pure 1960s gold! Some of these look like the so-bad-that-they're-good type, and some I actually really want to read! Anyway, I'll leave you guys with the collection. Don't forget to let me know what you think via twitter or facebook! Hope you guys enjoy these as much as I did :)

Inspiration: German Hip Hop Album Cover

aloa — Mon, 12 Jan 2009 16:23:58 +0000

I am working on an album cover for a hip hop artist right now and looked for inspirations on the web. I found some very good articles like this on SmashingMagazine. But I haven't found a lot on hip hop cover so I decided to write one on my own.

Inspiration: Vintage Playboy Cover

aloa — Tue, 30 Sep 2008 20:48:51 +0000

I personally think that the old playboy broads are much more interesting than the new cover girls. They look more natural and they are presented more creatively. But who cares about what I say, take a look yourself.
