We’ve always loved book cover designs, and yes, we do judge a book by its cover.

New York-based Colombian illustrator and art director Andrés Moncayo has reimagined many classic books, in his own signature style. We love the use of silhouettes, shadow, and interplay of characters and shapes. Many of them are instantly recognizable, and show the skill of Moncayo, who captures the essence of the story in the cover art.

    I really appreciate the artist’s gifted ability to use clever design to conveying the book titles. The art is so on point you practically don’t need the typeface to know the titles.
