Black and white book cover

Sinem Erkas is a graphic artist and designer with an appetite for experimentation and a good sense of fun. Her visual practice ranges from flat digital works to tactile paper collages to 3D sets, often creating playful and bold images that make you look twice.

The chosen design was a typographic illusion cover of Rebecca Schiff’s novel _The Bed Moved_, that would stop any avid reader or design fiend in their tracks. After discovering that Janet is a designer at Alfred A. Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House, we soon unearthed an array of thoughtfully apt book covers.
