Typographic Designs for Penguin Classics
Check out the beautiful covers designs Penguin has created for eight literary classics:
Turn of the Screw, Henry James
The Secret Agent, Joseph Conrad
Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy
Dracula, Bram Stoker
Thérèse Raquin, Émile Zola
The House of Mirth, Edith Wharton
Great Expectations, Charles Dickens
Notes from the Underground, Dostoyevsky
Penguin teamed up with AIDS awareness (RED) and a team of designers. Each designer used a quote from the book in the cover design. If you like words and typography, you’ll like them. My favourites are Anna Karenina and The Secret Agent. Notes from the Underground is also pretty intense. Yours?
