I like this style of blotchy watercolor ... I can't find too many examples at the moment though

I had no idea this thread existed
My current project at College is all about book covers. I chose to do 'The Secret Annexe' (From the Diary of Anne Frank)!
I'm just on scanning what I have produced so far.

Can you post your own designs in this thread?

Why not? That'd be interesting
I love the Barnes & Noble Classics covers- the illustrations are always fitting, and the layout is appealing
I should probably post pics of them...

I love this thread! And...I'm not a well woman when it comes to books. Here are some covers- most are from my own collection....









All books are my scans - except #4 - Mickey Dolenz Coloring book courtesey of ebay.com. (Special Note . Tropical Fruit was written by my Grandfather in 1928. I do not know the name of the illustrator.)
