The Dream In Color cover uses a huge bold type and then a smaller one on its sides, the black text on the rainbow background fitting the message of black being “a mixture of every color and every form of light”, the Extra Bold cover uses another bold type along with a sans serif description below the title popping out at you directly like how the title says, the Centered cover almost hand lettered almost like someone painted letters and turned it into a font using different letter designs to portray diversity, the Art of Oubey is a very unique looking slipcase that shows the type extruding out, and having 3 dimensional parts to it.

Acknowledgments
This course is based on the following course(s):
It’s great, Marco, that you noted the message of black being “a mixture of every color and every form of light.”
The slipcase for The Art of Oubey was molded. I have yet to find a good description of how the mold was made—if there is such a description. The slipcase honors the late artist, makes clear why the designer Stefan Sagmeister is lauded, and is just plain amazing.
