Book Chat: Awesome Design Elements!

Continuing in the tradition of some of some of our favorite book chats on design, this month we're talking about the awesome surprising design elements that are popping up more and more in books. I forgot to address it in the video, but something that may be interesting to note - these memorable design elements MAY be a way to keep people buying physical books. Thoughts?

Link up your Chats as a video response, and/or you can link up blog and vlog posts on the linky, so everyone can check them out and get in on the conversation:

Also, basically every time I say "font" I mean text, or something similar... =D

  1. You should check out The Cavendish Home for Boys and Girls. The front and end pages are this lovely repeated bug pattern, and there's little bugs scurrying across the text randomly throughout.

  3. One of my favorites would have to be Masque of the Red Death by Bethany Griffin because it has a buttery cover and the decaled edges which are my two favorite design techniques.
