Animated Harry Potter Posters

Artist and designer Jeca Martinez has created these wonderful, minimalist, animated posters for each book in the Harry Potter series. Each showcases a particularly important object from their respective books. I especially the (sometimes) hidden lightning bolt in each poster. A nice touch.

Beautiful Fahrenheit 451 Concept

This is a fantastic conceptual cover for Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 by designer Elizabeth Perez. The embedded matchstick and match-striking strip spine allow the reader to burn the book after reading it (although, I would hope that after reading it, the reader would know better than to burn a book). I just wish it was more than a concept so I could buy my own copy!
