Upon researching international book covers I came across the 10th Brazilian Graphic Design Biennial in Sao Paulo earlier this year. This contemporary collection of Brazilian Graphic Design showcased a total of 444 projects which represents the best of Brazilian design over the last four years.
One of the four, "axes," as they're known, is called Editorial Biennial, with a focus on editorial publications and reading fonts. This is where I stumbled upon the above book cover created by Kiko Farkas/Maquina Estudio - whatever that means. There is a whole series of similar book covers and to be perfectly honest with you I'm not even sure they're actually books. There is a high chance I have no idea what they are.
Pushing all that aside, the one tone and black colour play together nicely on the book covers. It's skewed symmetry (what a contradiction) and simply typeface add dimension and depth while not confusing the viewer much, well, too much anyway.
See some of my favourites below.
