Infobase eBook Covers

Challenge

Translating complex content into instantly understandable visual messages. The goal: to help readers immediately grasp the tone and genre of an eBook across a variety of subjects — from history and religion to art and career guides, at a glance while remaining visually engaging, unbiased, and educationally factual.

Design Approach

Each cover combines dynamic imagery, clear typography, vibrant color coding, and a consistent series branding to appeal to school and library markets while maintaining Infobase and Vault’s visual identities.
