The book is distinct from others not just because of its content but
also cover design, colour, font type, font size and layout. When all these
elements are blended in harmony, it turns to a unique design, which
provides a sufficient communication between a reader and a book. Once
the original and unique design is created, it can be last longing as much
as the content of a book. As it is known Turkey had used Arabic Alphabet
in the past and Latin script is used in present. The comparison of the
books which are included combination of those Arabic and Turkish
alphabets together would reveal new perspectives in the context of book
cover design. It could be said that Arabic letters are preferred in the old
forms as in the history while Latin letters distinguish with present forms.
It is appearing interesting experiences of design on the book covers
that coming together two cultural worlds the using the Arabic letters
which was used in the past of Turkey and Latin letters which is used
today’s Turkey. However, in very few book covers, it shows successful
design harmony with the oval structure of Arabic letters and the angular
structure of Latin letters. This situation even seems on the design
disharmonies broadcast quality is quite high publishers which are using
two letters systems. This disharmony can resolve when it was choiced the
selection of oval forms for Latin letters. It reveals another the lack of
balance in the design which is using the Arabic letters intensely some
samples on designs of book covers and also which is using the Latin
letters sparsely.
