DARK SECRETS: The internet loves this clever censored book cover | Vintage Vibes

1984 book cover

We're always told that you should never judge a book by its cover, but a strong look can sometimes do much more than just sell the publication. This clever design for George Orwell's 1984 is getting a lot of love for its simple and direct reference to the book's theme of authoritarian state censorship and the revision of history.

The name of the book itself has been redacted and is only visible in certain lighting conditions, and yet the book's fame alone may be enough for many readers to guess which title it is (take some inspiration from the best free fonts if you're working on your own non-redacted book covers).
