Afternoon readers,
As we all know, Stephen Fry's book has just been released. As this is a design blog I will not be giving you a book review; instead we will concentrate on the cover of the book itself.
The book cover you will notice straight away is simple, it is stripped down to basics so it's just us and Stephen Fry. Although there is a lot of white space it has been used to the advantage of the book cover.
So if it isn't the elaborate design, why are we attracted to simple designs like this?
This book attracts us mainly because, We like it's simplicity, we like it because we can see Stephen Fry and we like it because he is sat there waiting for us to listen to him.

It's not always the colour of the text and the elaborate designs that attracts us to a product or promotion, it can sometimes be the pictures, as a designer you think everything through, the font size, colours you're going to use and most importantly images that you use!
The colours on this book also contribute to the simple style, it joins in with Stephen Fry's clothes, it gives a whole unity to the entire front cover of the book and really makes it stick out. A unity that continues into the book itself with the innards of the front cover copying Stephen Fry's socks.
This is a brilliant show of how a simple design can be better than the biggest, most complicated design there is.
Until next time
