The Worship Architect Baker Academic Although this book is not about literal architecture, it does use architectural concepts as a way to describe church services. The way the cover's words all fit together alludes to architecture. Also, I found the photo of the hands forming the church, which is a nice non-literal way to illustrate the subject.
	Beyond Compare Georgetown University Press The bright color palette of this cover is based on the swami sculpture. I was quite pleased with the composition at which I arrived. A triangle is formed visually by the Author name, subtitle, circular photo. A second triangle is formed by the circular photo, title. The curved images contrast these triangles. There is also an interesting juxtaposition of scale between the large and small portraits.
	Dostoevsky Baylor University Press The Arch Bishop of Canterbury is the author of this religious assessment of Doestevsky’s work. I acquired the Russian town image at the bottom at no charge from the Library of Congress. This allowed for the purchase of the rather pricey portrait of Doestevsky. My zoomed-in treatment of the image focuses on his reflective face. Note the cross serving as an “and” symbol.
	The Temple of Jerusalem Praeger The sky above the dome was too short to accommodate the title text. I was rather pleased with my seamless extension in Photoshop.

	Life, Death & Meaning Rowman and Littlefield The tall glass photograh was an interesting representation of the subject, and allowed for an interesting space to set the long list of contributors. This book has gone into a second edition. I know I’m biased, but I must say I prefer this edtion’s design.
