Faber and Faber book layout.

In every faber&faber book the layout on the back of the book is of a similar format as seen below:


And also the faber and faber logo appears three times on the cover as a whole. Once on the front cover in the bottom right hand corner, one directly on the bottom of the spine and again on the back in the bottom left hand corner. I need to take this in to consideration when designing my book covers.

Reserviour Dogs Book covers.

This is a very old book cover from faber and faber but I like the link of the clip board to show the book as a film series.

Faber Finds generative book covers

'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:
