Marber Theme

Marber is a simple, minimalistic theme inspired by Romek Marber’s grid based layouts designed for Penguin in the 1960’s.

My proposal for a new cover approach for the Penguin Crime series

The image on Marber’s covers occupies just over two-thirds of the space, while the title section at the top is divided into three bands carrying colophon/series name/price, the title and the author’s name, with the type ranged left. 

This arrangement, known as the Marber grid, gives the books a distinctive visual unity.
