What sets these book covers different from others:

• Colour has been used in order to convey the general atmosphere of the books. 
• Type has a clear impact upon the books format, with the title being a key aspect.
• Minimalist-isn't overpowering
• Composition
• The opacity within certain images appears highly effective. 
• Each design appears contextual to the period.
• Balance is developed between type and image.
