We were commissioned to design 100 covers for e–books, the copyright of which has already expired and which are to be found among top 100 best selling titles on amazon.es. We researched the topic of the loss of copyright protection and acquiring the status of public good through which we came to the motif of a knot. Because e–books do not have any volume, any rear cover nor spine, we cut the model of a knot into a hundred contours that we used for abstract cover compositions. Then, we customised the motifs according to the individual works and completed them with initials.
