Design*Sponge: The Book!

One of the many blogs that inspired me to keep up To Be Shelved once my class ended was Design*Sponge. D*S is a design blog run by Grace Bonney that seems to touch on almost every aspect of design and always surprises me with their posts.

Grace is about to have a book published called "Design*Sponge at Home". Watch the video below to hear from Grace herself about what exactly the book includes.

Leading-up to the book's release (it is currently available for pre-order), Grace posted a look at the different phases they went through designing the book's cover. I always love seeing the steps that lead to a final design and wanted to share a few of my favorites that were scrapped in the Design*Sponge process.

I tried to choose one from each phase but to see all of the covers CLICK HERE. Also, gold foil is clearly an instant winner in my book.
