Blink

I was blown away by these horrible covers for notable books coming out of the UK.

I mean, what’s the deal?!

(Thanks to Joshua Keay for the heads up on these.)

WHAT HAVE YOU BASTARDS DONE TO FREAKONOMICS????

wah?! the hardcover version here in canada had a gorgeous, minimal, and simple cover design. what happened when it crossed the pond?

Ah, er. Aum, hmm. Ah. K.

Oh, there’s a girl’s face at the end of the swirly thing-nevermind. It’s real good now. Oh, and the other end of the swirly thing curls through the counter of the “b.” It unfolds a little more with each glance-now after studying it for the last 73 seconds I’m left with the strangest desire to rent A Clockwork Orange. Maybe tonight I’ll watch it with a nice glass of milk.

I think maybe the design is trying to illustrate a quark event?

Freakonomics looks like a bad edition of People magazine.

The Blink cover is a nice illustration. For something else.

I agree with Carradini above on the People Ma…- I mean Freakonomics cover.

I would like to apologise on behalf of my country. I’m working hard to rectify the situation.

Unfortunately it’s endemic. See also the travesties we ended up with BC favourites “Never Let Me Go” and “Oryx and Crake”
