Book Cover of the Month

Ellie Game, deputy art director at Harper Collins Publishers, designed the cover for Yellowface by Rebecca F. Kuang. The cover features two eyes staring out from a bold yellow background. She was assisted by a team of four created around 75 designs for the cover. The cover was visually striking and helped make the book a success.

Game stated in an online interview that “People want things that feel nice and are worth spending their money on. They want something that is going to sit on their shelf and be a really nice object beyond just being a good book.”  I must agree with her. The cover is what made me buy the book and it does look nice on my bookshelf. I am always asked what the book is about when friends visit me at home. It's just  a stunning cover that makes me happy.
