Here’s the new book cover for Sarah Palin’s sort of autobiography? Or whatever it is. I like the elephant and the bones the most. This cover was designed by A Tiny City Printing Press for Sarah Palin and Todd, who has retired from his job because he saw this cover and decided it was so good that he’d never harvest oil so good ever again. Goodness!
Check out also this analyzation of the font used:
“And, finally, one of the most important features of any book cover is the font. As typophiles know, the font sends an important message about the quality and type of publication. While we might have expected Palin to choose a bold and unadorned font like Impact (or perhaps Comic Sans), Palin’s team went instead with Linotype Didot. According to Typedia, the Didot family of fonts comes from the Didot family, who lived and worked in Paris in the 19th Century. While Pierre Didot published books and prints, Firmin Didot designed the typefaces. Linotype Didot was added much later, drawn by Adrian Frutiger in 1991. Typedia informs us that this font, with its vertical emphasis and bold strokes, is the “right choice for elegant book and magazine designs, as well as advertising with a classic touch.” However, as Anna notes, for all its elegance, Didot is only one “i” away from idiot. And you’d think that is one association she’d rather avoid.” — Intern Katy of Jezebel
BONUS now there’s a book coming out the same day as the original called “Going Rogue: An American Nightmare” written by senior editors of The Nation – Richard Kim and Betsy Reed and it’ll be sold through http://orbooks.com/ – see the cover below (the storm clouds one.)
