Book Cover Design Elements :

There are three main elements that are taken into account in the design of a book's cover: the title, the author's name, and the publisher.

Generally speaking, the title of the book is located in the center of the cover, with the largest font. If there is a secondary title, then it must follow the main title, and the font is generally 1~2 sizes smaller than the main title.

If the title is arranged vertically and the binding is oriented left to right, the title is usually placed at the top of the left-hand side, close to the spine. The reverse is true if the binding is left-to-right.

The author's name is usually smaller, and in books with horizontal titles, the author's name should be placed at the bottom right of the title or at the bottom center of the title. The font size of the author's name should be smaller than the main title and subtitle.

Before the publisher's name, there is usually a social label. The publisher's name is located at the very bottom of the center of the book, more than 0.5cm from the finished line at the very bottom of the cover. The font size of the publisher's name is usually specified by the publisher, or if there is no specific regulation, it will be reasonably adjusted according to the size of the book.
