Marber Grid


Marber Grid - The layout that changed book covers forever 

- 1961 was designed by polish graphic designer Romek Marber for Penguin book covers that became the most loved layout of all time
- Typographic information is included within the top third of the page, and he allowed for over two thirds of the cover to be used by the illustrations. This gives the covers artwork the space needed to capture browser's attention and sell the book.
- This became the standard layout for Penguin entire range of paper backs.
