Need some inspiration for Non-Fiction book cover design? Here are some of the best designs I’ve found on the internet:

 

1. Wired for Story – Very simple but very effective. Black and white but still communicates everything needed.

3. Slim Leadership – great color combination and perfectly picked symbol of leadership. Author name and subtitle don’t distract from the title with that light grey color
