2022 Book Covers We Loved!
Welcome to 2022 Book Covers We Loved!
Once again, I tasked myself and the esteemed Spine panel with choosing three favourite covers each from the past year (and then added one for luck; 22 covers for 2022 :D)
Some notable design trends of 2022: The lost-dog-poster and grid formats are still going strong and we also saw an uptick in the use of retro 80s style fonts and of pink and orange colour schemes, to great effect!
This list is comprised of agonising choices made by the panel, including: Creative Director for Counterpoint Press, Catapult and Soft Skull Press, Nicole Caputo; Senior Designer of Children’s Books for HarperCollins, Jessie Gang; Freelance Designer Mark Swan; Co-Founder of Chapman & Wilder, Cherie Chapman; Author of The Lost History of Dreams, Kris Waldherr; Author of the novels Girls in the Moon and The Looking Glass, Janet McNally;and Artworker for Ebury, Penguin and Spine Editor, Vyki Hendy.
As with any cover design we feature in our publications, we encourage you to head to your local library and/or bookstore to view the work in its full splendor whenever possible.
