Book covers with spot varnish.


On the book above the name of the author and parts of the images are highlighted with a sliver spot varnish. I think this is an effective process used on book covers and is some thing I want to try out with my book designs.


The 'Cold Mountain' cover is a great example of a good book cover design. It uses simple shapes and layered imagery to create impact for the book. However within this design it is only parts of the image that have a clear spot varnish.
