Pelican Book Covers I have always loved the Pelican and Penguin book cover designs of the 50 - 70’s, but being younger I would always be filled with excitement looking at the colours and geometric shapes that sumptuously narrated the cover of the book to feel a little deflated (watch this) when opening them up only to see word after word of smelly pages. This project scans and documents 50 years of front Pelican book covers My favourite years were the early 1970’s when Italian art director Germano Facetti was in charge of design.  What’s yours? My dream job to design book covers for Pelican et al. That or the job of being Trudie Styler.
