Even more ugly design banter for you!!! I thought this would be fun. Feel free to do the tag if you also have strong opinions on book covers.
One note from post editing CJ! I've retitled this the "Could Do Better" tag instead of the "Butterface Book Tag". I've had a couple people message me saying they thought that was a bit offensive, which I can see, but I obviously meant it as a play on words and chose that original title on purpose, as we are literally objectifying objects in this video for design merits only. Don't cancel me! Love you!
✏️ Tag Questions ✏️
1. Say It Don’t Spray It: Cover with the most offensive use of type.
2. She’s serving Reese’s Bookclub: Cover with the most commercial book club energy.
3. Yes girl, give us nothing!: Cover with seemingly no energy put into it.
4. A face only a mother could love: Cover that is so hideous, but the book is so good, you can’t help but keep it around.
5. Take one thing off before leaving the house: Cover that could use one less element.
6. Hypebeast: Cover that is clearly going for all the trends at the same time.
