My final cover variant utilises ADA Hybrid as its main typeface and plays with the eye by very subtly decreasing in type size as the words reach the bottom. It is designed to be visually appealing but not overwhelming, much like the back cover, which was created with the intention of playing with the eye and bringing a final, closing send off to the publication.
Red is by far and away the most commonly used colour in books about graphic design. Michael Bierut, Erik Spiekermann, Massimo Vignelli and Josef-Muller Brockmann all have employed the colour in their publications, both physical and digital.
This blue variant shows how the cover could evolve for other design fields in other manuals in the series, if of course it was to be a series.
