10+ Amazing Methods to Find & Share Great Books For Design Inspiration

Just like posters (but with some content inside), book covers are one of the most inspirational objects in your room, so you might get some new ones this summer. If this is correct, then our roundup it’s just what you need – a collection of the best ways to find new & cool books. To read and to stare at!

The Designer’s Review Of Books

Although there are several good design websites that occasionally have book reviews, there didnâ€™t seem to be a single place online where you could get constant updates and reviews of new (and sometimes old) design books.

Faceout Books

This venue has been created to appreciate the practice of book cover design. This is not a blog to rip apart what we dislikeâ€”everyone has a different aesthetic. This is a blog about the challenges and outcomes of a project. We are here to teach and be taught by one another.

Bookcase Porn

Actually, I have been seeking some color inspiration in web design. Not necessarily bright colors, but just good use of color in web design, “trending” color schemes as well as unique color schemes. I can't make a site without using pink (I never plan on using pink either but I always do!), black and grey shades. Or Avant Garde. lol.
