One day, intend to have an entire library in my house with floor to ceiling windows and sliding ladders. Think Beauty and the Beast. Because I like books that much.
As a designer, I also like pretty things, well designed things. I simply cannot tolerate poor design in my presence. So when I have books in which one finds excellent content but on whose covers is sad design, I cringe inside. Alas! I have a solution to the problem. I make my own covers. Genius.
This is what I have done. The first one is done by hand with pen and ink, the others are printed on craft paper.
After I did one, I got really excited and wanted to recover all of my ugly books. Problem: I don't have many ugly books because of my opposition to poor design. That's unfortunate. At least now I am no longer opposed to ordering the ugly, albeit cheaper, books on Amazon.
