When self help books no help self. Let's talk bout book cover design trends. Here's a design cover tutorial where I show you how to create your own trashy version of self help book covers!

Welcome to the video where I point out trends and mash them all up onto a trashy version of the cover (note: trashy refers to my own covers).
Hi guys it's been a 40 degree hot minute since a video like this.
Forgive me!
Been working not-so-steadily through my degree and other client projects so here's a lil something something in the meanwhile.

I read a bunch of self help books in the beginning of the year to better myself, increase productivity and feel like a functioning adult human being instead of mentally 18.
Here's just a few of the different styles and design trends that I noticed. And how your cover can reflect that.
Of course I do poke fun a bit and I'm not saying that self help books have no value or aren't helpful but just poking a bit of fun in the aims to highlight some themes and patterns in cover design.

Enjoy and stay safe!
