Book Series Cover Design

Congratulations! You're planning a series of books. As you work your way through each book, your focus is likely on how the inside of the book looks. It may even be on how the cover of your book looks. But how about the way the books look as a whole. If you looked at them from across a room, would you know they wall went together? (Well, you would, but would a stranger?) Would someone be able to tell the books apart and know which ones they've already read?
Designing the covers for your series books is a lot harder than designing the covers for a single book. Why? Because the whole series has to sit together cohesively. One book that doesn't align with the others can throw off the whole look. But you can't have them looking too similar or else some of your books are likely to be overlooked.
And keep in mind, it's not just your front covers you have to consider. If you were to visit a bookstore, you'd find that most books sit spine out, which means that all that effort you put into your front cover isn't even being seen. It also means that not only do your front covers need to feel cohesive, so do your spines.
So how do you do that? Traditional publishers have a trick they use. Color! Want to know more? Watch on.
