Book Cover of the Month: May

Weyward by Emilia Hart has one of the most beautiful book covers that I have ever seen. Logically, it is my best book cover for May. The cover designer is Michael Storrings.  He is the Creative Director at St. Martin's Press and he has designed book jackets for New York Times bestselling authors like Kristin Hannah, Mary Kay Andrews, Jackie Collins, Emily Giffin, Bernie Sanders, Bob Harper, The Kardashians, Jeffrey Archer and Lisa Scottoline. Storrings has won awards from the American Institute of Graphic Artists, the Art Directors Club, the Society of Illustrators, Print Magazine and the New York Book Show.

To create the Weyward book cover Storrings used images of background flowers from Liliboas/Getty Images. The vines and leaves were taken from bauhaus 1000/Getty Images and the beetles and crow were from The Palmer/Getty Images. Finally, the bugs were from Bodar Tivadar/Shutterstock.com.  He placed all of these images in a pleasing pattern for this cover design.
