What makes a good book cover? Bold colors, hand lettering mark 2021's best

The old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover,” doesn't apply for 2021's trends in book cover design.

Literary Hub recently released their list of the “ 101 Best Book Covers of 2021.”

To learn about what's behind the trends, The Show spoke with Brad Jones, a graphic designer with Studio 5 Eleven in Scottsdale.

Jones designs book covers himself, so the conversation began with how he approaches the design of a book cover.
