Design covers for a books series (follow-up commission available)

Critical Editions series - in this example, use the title "The Treatise of the Three Impostors"

Various - in this example, use "Anonymous"

There will be many different authors over the course of the series. No need to put the author info on the book.

The Critical Editions series revives forgotten, misunderstood, or not-well-known classic fiction and nonfiction texts. Each book comes with a new introduction that puts the book in context for a contemporary reader. Currently we have four books in this series, and it will continue to grow. We want a sophisticated design that can be used over and over.

The winning designer may receive a recurring commission to update each edition of the series.

Educated, worldly people. Graduate students. Fans of classic literature. Philosophy students. Writing and literature graduate students. Professors. Other authors.

You are creating a design that can be used over and over with variations to create a consistent look in our Critical Editions series.

You can use graphics, colors, or photography. EACH book in this series will look the same, with slight variation for each new title. For example, changing the photo or color from title to title.

The design should be sophisticated and timeless. We want people to recognize the cover from a distance, and for the cover to look fresh 10, 20, 30 years from now.

We do not want to look like other series. For example, do NOT mimic the likes of Penguin Classics, Oxford World Classics, etc. Please be different than https://global.oup.com/academic/con…s&lang=en& and http://www.penguinclassics.com/
