The Obsession book cover design by Isaac Tobin is one of my favorite designs from 2008. The hand lettering/pin work was done by illustrator Lauren Nassef.
Faceout Books posted an interview awhile back with both Tobin and Nassef. The cover for Obsession is on The Book Design Review’s list of Favorite Covers of 2008. Voting is still open until December 30th, 2008.
