JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER (SUDI KNJIGU PO KORICAMA)
I.T.U. Zagreb with Narcissa Vukojević

Judge A Book by Its Cover is a research project focusing on Croatian book cover design of the Yugoslavian era (1950-1990). We searched through over 10,000 books in public libraries, archives, private collections and second-hand bookstores for books to exhibit. We exhibited a relatively small selection of about 500 book covers at the Croatian Designers Society in Zagreb. The books, from over forty publishers, represent the work of more than fifty graphic designers. Many of these designers are relatively unknown to the public today.
