Delve into the cover design for Sally Rooney’s new book
We speak to designer Jon Gray about creating the book jacket for the hotly anticipated Beautiful World, Where Are You, which features striking illustrations by Manshen Lo 19/04/2021 6:50 am
When Sally Rooney’s Normal People was released in 2018, it felt like you couldn’t get on public transport without spotting a copy of the distinctive green hardback, its cover depicting a young man and woman packed together like sardines in a tin.
The Irish author’s second novel quickly became a cult classic, earning her accolades such as ‘the first great millennial author’ and spawning a hugely popular BBC Three and Hulu TV adaption last year.
The changing nature of book cover design
Donna Payne, Faber’s creative director, explains her creative process when designing a cover, and touches upon the impact of the pandemic and the boost in online sales it’s prompted 04/02/2021 8:35 am
In January, it was reported that in 2020 more than 200 million print books were sold in the UK, the first time since 2012 that number has been exceeded. Despite bookshops being closed for the majority of the year, initiatives such as Bookshop.org, an online bookshop that allows you to buy direct from local, independent booksellers, as well as the growing influx of BookTubers and Bookstagrammers on social media all point towards book buying being a lockdown saviour.
