Book designer Giles of Osprey Design put forward this cover as an example of one he'd "like to like, but can't" based, it seems, mainly on the legibility of the text. I, on the other hand, think it's a very handsome design (Without seeing a physical copy, I can't speak decisively about the legibility issue at hand).
In any case, I tried a brief clumsy experiment to "deaden" the image, which I think help's the title to "pop" better.
Here's a link to the book's sales page at BAMM.com (gotta plug my local businesses)
This is research we are doing to determine the style & design of our upcoming book on business model innovation...

«Die köstliche Gabe der Neugier», Verlag Martin Wallimann, Alpnach (Switzerland) Feb.2011.
This 112-page book unites newspaper editorials by the Swiss writer, journalist, and politician Andreas Iten with reactions and «echoes» by his friends and contemporaries. I had much fun designing and typesetting the book; it uses two different typefaces, Evert Bloemsma's FF Balance (here seen for text) and Turnip, a new text font currently in development by David Jonathan Ross (here seen for titling).

Book design of AOI Images 33: Best of British Illustration 2009.
This year I worked together with Adrian Shaughnessy on the design of the Images Book and exhibition graphics. In the book we created a tighter grid with a more contemporary feel and rather than just selecting an illustration from the book to use on the cover we created a typographic design that didn't favour any one illustration style or individual and that could be experimented with in the future. We then followed these principles through to the exhibition and awards. Here we used the icon as a label for the award winners.

Angkor Wat II, is the fifth coffee table book we have designed for German photographer Hellmut Issels. In this 100+ page 13 x 11 book, we incorporated some beautiful layering techniques to give the pages depth and aged the photographs somewhat to make them feel like they were taken in a different era. Hellmut has traveled the world taking photographs that often appear in trade magazines and newspapers.
