Cover Redesign: 'Serket’s Movies: Commentary and Trivia on 444 Movies' by Cory Hamblin'

This month, Amanda Reid at Melissa Williams Design reimagines the cover of Serket’s Movies: Commentary and Trivia on 444 Movies by Cory Hamblin. To submit a book for a free cover redesign, email us at booklifeeditor@booklife.com.

Design Note 1: I felt the title font was difficult to read, so I chose a cleaner font that will draw the reader’s eye.

Design Note 2: The author’s name was also difficult to read. Choosing a simpler font and moving it to the top helps it stand out more.

Design Note 3: Toning down the colors with gold curtains helps set a calm, easygoing tone.

Design Note 4: I replaced the masks with popcorn and a clapboard since drama masks immediately convey theater more than they do film.
