PATTERNS AND SHAPES Simple shapes are the building blocks of all designs, and everything for that matter. Making bold choices with your color or composition is important when using simple shapes, otherwise your design can look more elementary.

TRENDS

UNEXPECTED TYPOGRAPHY Most themes rely on two contrasting fonts because, well, why fix what’s not broken? Though it is generally a good idea, isn’t it more fun to break rules sometimes? Try using typography as a main design element instead of as accents. Don’t put legibility to the side, but you do not need to make it the primary factor.

ILLUSTRATIONS With most designs being type or photo heavy, illustrations are a great tool to help your book stand out. Illustrations are versatile, and you can adjust the style to fit your theme. Obviously this will require some drawing skills, but this trend can really help your spreads excel!

BLACK AND WHITE/COLOR MINIMALISM The absence of color can draw your eye as effectively as bold color when applied correctly. A limited color palette can provide direction and focus while capturing your attention. The end result can range from dramatic and bold to classy and refined. Think of the color as an accent rather than the main focus. Strong photography or visual graphics should be the focus to make your spreads visually interesting.
