research for cover book design

What do you need for your cover book?

As a book designer, I was searching for the standard size of books which is my project. At the beginning we should now about parts and sizes of book's cover after that we can decide about designs and styles of it.

A standard printed book cover (see image left), has 3 parts to it:

1. The front cover
2. The spine
3. The back cover

In printed and digital books, the first thing we look at is the cover. So it must have the impact, attention and look interesting. When you are browsing a book for any random, the title of the book and the cover will grab your attention. 

"Basic concepts in architecture"

The title of a book that I bought it before and the cover of this book attracted me so much. The concentration between colours are very nice with lines and some shapes and styles of architecture of buildings are obvious. The title shows with some details around with different size and shapes.

In my opinion, it is obviously for the architecture's book and very related.
