I don't like these new Narnia Hardcovers. I know some of you do. Let me explain. 1. I recognize the Art Nouveau line work and recognize it's quality, but I don't think it's the right influence for Narnia or Lewis artwork. Not remotely English enough. 2. The colors are too many and in some cases too saturated. Especially the title gradients, which are the worst part of the designs. While not reaching lyschadelic levels, they remind me of Tumblr artstyles that infected nearly every industry in the mid 2010s. Too many colors. 3. Some of them are poor compositions for book covers. Silver Chair is the worst offender here, where the colors draw the eye to a spot above the title. All in l, the one I almost like is Dawn Treader. Most of it works, including layout. Except for that dang title gradient. 🙄
