I decided to continue looking for more bad book covers for examples on specifically what not to do. I learn the best from examples and I feel this research has been very helpful. (I want my book cover to be the most successful for this project.) Some people out there do judge a book by its cover. I decided to look for books with bad typography and got shocking results. Below is the most confusing one for me because of the lack of readability. I chose this cover out of many poor designs because it's bad readability made it stand out as the worse. Sure the words look neat on the cover but I can't simply read it. My eyes are struggling to read the type. One of the most important things when making a book cover is to make sure the cover is readable especially if the cover is all typography. This cover is only typography, you want the cover to be readable period.
