Design Debate

Scrolling through Pinterest, as i love to do! I came across a beautiful cover for the well loved book, Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice. It got me thinking that there must have been many beautiful covers over the many years this book has been in print. So I went a looking and I am sharing some of my favourites here. I only have one copy at home, I have two of Emma, my name sake, and I would happily by more as I love book design. They really are works of art. I personally prefer the illustrative covers, using pattern or print as I feel the photographic or life-like illustrations steel my opportunity to imagine the characters. They come alive on the page, different for each reader. Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice was first published in 1813 by Thomas Egerton, Jane was not quite 21 when she wrote it! 1895, illustrated by Hugh Thomson for Macmillan's edition of Illustrated Standard Novels Another version of above, the peacocks symbolising pride ...

Simply delicious packaging. I love the colours, the packet as apposed to a wrap and especially love the irregular triangles.  La Naya chocolate really strikes the right balance. The monochrome illustration speaks of tradition and heritage. The neon bright colours communicate the lively and vibrant culture of Guatemala and the geometric pattern of the chocolate makes this brand feel current. I just want to snap a piece off! Although we have decided in the studio that this lovely chocolate wouldn't last long - wants you snap I just wouldn't be able to stop! Designed by  Gabija Platukyte and found on Behance .
