This cover is for a book about the way we have been duped by the quintessential infomercial. I explored a bunch of photo-driven, tongue-in-cheek solutions, but in the end the publisher settled on this very clean, type-driven cover. A nod to the horrible graphics of the infomericial was given by the use of plain-jane fonts and the little burst around the author name. It is difficult to do a parody of bad design and still have a cover that turns out looking contemporary and well-designed. I hope I pulled it off.
