The initial cover design system of Faber Finds exploited that possibility (now it has been replaced by a more generic template). Darren Wall, then senior designer at Faber and Faber, developed a generative template by which a different design is computationally created for each title. He commissioned Marian Bantjes to design four different borders, one for each genre: non-fiction, fiction, arts and children’s. The borders were then abstracted and disassembled into small units for a custom software written by Karsten Schmidt, which would reassemble them into endlessly varied patterns within certain parameters. A bespoke typeface was designed by Michael Place, which was inspired in part by the double-f logo of Faber and Faber.
