Use plain white paper and print one to four colors.
This design is mostly used in the direct form of academic books and specialized works.
(2) Design with vivid expression, concise explanation and images (paintings or photos) that basically reflect the main points of the content as elements.
There are many other types in practical and entertaining picture books.
(3) Works that are only composed of the basic elements of Wen Ning and are difficult to convey the meaning of the content. In order to help readers understand, articles or photos are directly selected from the body of the book and quoted on the cover. (4) The creative comprehensive expression that comprehensively conveys the four elements of text, image, color and material from text to cover.
This design form is more suitable for cultural, artistic and ideological cultivation reading materials.
Its content means and feels the expressive force of the seal, which often gives people a taste of infinite artistic conception from the vision and even the soul.
In fact, album design is more than these four loyal forms, all of which come from the constraints of its connotation, but excellent design is the best form to jump out of the restrictions, express and transcend the content and achieve unity with the connotation.
The cover should be considered comprehensively to achieve continuity and make it show dramatic changes as soon as possible.
In the middle of the three dimensions (chapter, spine and back cover), the repetition and change of the main theme are presented, forming a potential internal force movement, which makes the cover contain an airflow and shows the vitality of the book.
The spine is an important part of the cover. It is the part that shows itself for the longest time and has the most opportunities to meet readers, but it is also the part that is often overlooked.
We only need to browse the books displayed on the bookshelf, but the exposed part is the spine. Designers should fully consider the importance of conveying information in this narrow space and make great efforts to deal with the relationship between words, images and space.
For the covers of a series of books, the main theme of the album should run through the whole series, just like a breeze blowing across the sea, bypassing Yuan Ye, people, land and mountains. At the same time, it also maintains the overall rhythm and permeates the unique personality of a single book in the group.
Ring lining and title page should also belong to the category of cover design. Ring lining (the separation page between the cover and the book block, divided into front ring, back ring or double ring and single ring) The title page (also called the inner cover or page) is the continuation of the cover form, the second expression of the cover language and an indispensable part of the album.
To sum up, the main task of album design is to concentrate and compact all the contents of a book in the cover, and at the same time treat the whole book as a thousand living things, and analyze the characteristics exposed inside, so as to fully highlight the essential things and present a "vivid face".
