Brilliant Book Cover Design Inspiration For Authors This World Book Night

If you're planning to flick on the telly tonight and chill out on the sofa in front of inane Saturday night shows - then don't. Step away from the remote, and into your imagination.

For tonight is World Book Night, an annual celebration of the joys of reading. It is about sharing the love of leafing through a good book and exploring new ideas, adventures, and insights.

And despite a large number of people dropping the traditional paperbacks for portable plastic screens, the demand for book cover designs is not in decline.

Although you shouldn't really judge a book by its cover, a design featuring good graphics, eye-catching fonts, and quality images is going to sell better, whether in a bookshop or online store.

Getting the right book design is now much easier, and by crowdsourcing through DesignCrowd, you can have a community of 500,000 designers working to bring your words to life with imagery.

Our line-up of book cover designs illustrates a cross section of styles, audiences, fiction, and non-fiction, but all with a quality execution that would look great on any shelf.
