Not Fine

A stark Kindle cover: black field, a crossed-out “not,” and a single white ribbon. The whole idea is readable at postage-stamp size.

By Evelyn Truex. Memoir cover design. Kindle.

The title is the design. “NOT” is struck through in a thin magenta bar so the words “FINE” still read first, and the contradiction lands a second later. A white awareness ribbon sits alone under the type, with the author name in small caps at the foot. Nothing else is on the jacket, which is what makes the thumbnail hold together on a phone.
