Knorr has always had a love for photography, which he considers to be his formational background in design. He shares the most important elements an author needs to consider as he or she designs a book cover. First, he talks about the book as a product that needs to be packaged in a genre-appropriate way. If an author is trying to market a book to a certain audience, there are conventions a reader expects on the cover. However, this leads Knorr to his second tip: a book cover should not be derivative. He speaks in detail about the importance of a book cover sticking out on the shelves. Finally, Knorr explains the beauty of a simple design on a cover. What needs to be on a cover and what should be left off? How does this all impact eBooks? What can we learn, for example, from Steve Job&rsquo;s design of Apple products when it comes to a book cover? Listen to the clip below as Knorr explains all of these tips and describes how he gets feedback on book covers.</p> </div> <div class="asl-wikipage-media"> <p><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver-wikis-components-files/00-00-00-01-79/ElementsofImpactfulCoverDesignforBothPrintandeBooks.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ElementsofImpactfulCoverDesignforBothPrintandeBooks.mp4</a></p> </div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, video</div> https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/7191/elements-of-impactful-cover-design-for-both-print-and-ebooks/revision/2Mon, 07 Jan 2019 14:37:34 GMT809ccca5-04d2-44bf-8f5c-ff0a6d33c80b:7934915d-bdf8-4602-919e-64abe72c9f50Author Learning Centerhttps://www.authorlearningcenter.com/publishing/design/w/cover/7191/elements-of-impactful-cover-design-for-both-print-and-ebooks#commentsRevision 2 posted to Cover by Author Learning Center on 1/7/2019 2:37:34 PM<br /> <div class="asl-wikipage-summary"> <p>Lawrence Knorr, author and founder of Sunbury Press, explains the components of an effective book cover.
