Cover ideas for your thesis

Naturally, the subject of your thesis ought to be reflected in the cover. How you achieve this is up to you however. The world has enough uninspiring academic book covers already. Dare to be bold, dare to be different. You’ve clearly found something fascinating enough to write this big long treatise on it, so why not try to get your readers excited as well?

Understated

It’s safe to assume that your readers will be familiar with the topic of your thesis, so you might as well display that topic clearly on the cover. This is of course, easier with some subjects than others. Use the cover to home in on the core focus of your thesis.

Classic

We know we complained about old-fashioned academic covers earlier, but they’re not entirely hopeless. The right image and colour choice is absolutely key, and if you mange to nail that, you’ll end up with a respectable, but fabulous-looking cover.

Creative

Even the more rigid subjects out there can benefit from a creative touch. Using the cover to express abstract ideas that saturate your work can be a great way to fascinate prospective readers. Bold colours, captivating imagery, and a catchy title can work wonders together.
