42 Book Cover Revamps

From Vandalized Book Campaigns to Custom Book Covers

— June 20, 2013 — Business
These book cover revamps by a myriad of designers are fascinating retakes on classic literature reads for a more youth-oriented and modern approach. To engage younger readers, the covers of the books have been given a less stodgy and more stylish appearance that is more in keeping with today's aesthetic.

For younger viewers that have grown up in a more visually appealing and graphics-oriented time period, revamping these covers is the best way to connect. Though you can't judge a book by its cover, you can get lured in by a fetching design. It is among most nation's goals to engage young readers and teach them the importance of literacy and the written word. These projects are a smart way to go about achieving this goal.
