The existing book cover designs for Sigmund Freud's 'Dream Psychology' feature some quite abstract imagery. The design below features some imagery of a circuitboard which suggests content that relates to technology which is very misleading. The design has a retro-futuristic look due to its use of wireframe imagery of a human.
A more appropriate approach is the design below which incorporates imagery that suggests molecular science which is slightly more appropriate. The dull colours aren't particularly exciting and the background imagery causes the type to be not very legible. The design could be vastly improved with the use of type hierarchy, change of colour scheme and removing the photo of Freud.
The cover below is extremely simple in it's design and does not give much indication towards the content of the book aside from the title.
My own design will incorporate imagery of the mind and dreaming. Strong visuals will draw the attention of the audience and type will become a secondary factor.
