Ooh, very pretty. I love the illusion that the label is peeling up on two of the corners. This same trick is used on one of my very favourite t-shirts, in fact: http://www.threadless.com/product/1020/November_Was_A_Good_Month
If ever there were a challenge few could meet, here is one of them: Design a compelling cover using only Times New Roman. You think it’s as easy as it looks?
Yes. Excellent.
And I’m pretty sure the generic label has a bit of a varnish to it.

Ignore the “Copyrighted Material” watermarks from Amazon.

genius. The only way the execution could be better is if it were a real sticker peeling off.

Darren Haggar has done some beautiful work in Paul Buckley’s department at Penguin. You can view the non-watermarked version of this cover here:

Interesting concept but, visually, it’s making me sleepy.

snooooooze fest
I’m all for minimalism, but at least make your minimalism moderately engaging.

Haggar = God.
This cover is fantastic. A clear concept, beautifully executed.
Sleep well C-Dog, sweet dreams.

I’d say its more mysterious than minimalist, especially when working with the title/subtitle.

Best cover in weeks.
