'Faber Finds is a recently launched service offered by publisher Faber and Faber that utilises digital print technology and affordability to make out-of-print books available once more. Basically, a book is only printed when someone orders it - and, thanks to some clever generative programming by Universal Everything collaborator Karsten Schmidt (undertaken through his own studio, postspectacular.com), each cover printed promises to be totally unique. Various decorative elements designed by Marian Bantjes are arranged by the programme into a decorative border around the book’s title and author. The latter appear in a bespoke font, b-hmmnd, designed by Build’s Michael Place.' (www.creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2008/july/faber-finds-generative-book-covers)
The great thing is about these cover designs is that they work really well as a series, within the use of the coding above.
As each genre is depicted by different geometric shaped boarders. An example of this is seen below:
