The cover is the front of the book that is first seen. The cover has an important and strategic role in imaging the identity of the book. In marketing, several books come in single and serial formats. Book series usually consist of several books that are packaged in one package or sold separately. The presence of a series of books may be due to their contents or the similarity of the character of the content. Some types of books are usually present in series formats such as novels, children, education, and others. The cover design of a series book usually has a visual similarity with each other. This is done by publishers to maintain consistency while providing a book series identity. Related to the above, in designing the cover of the book series there are a number of things that must be considered by the cover designer. This is related to visuals presented such as constants and visual variables. Visual constants are things that appear constantly or consistently. Instead, variables are things that appear inconsistently or consistently on the cover. Therefore, this research will explain the design methods for the book series by paying attention to these things. This research will use artistic research methods, a method that relies on the practice of designing artistic works such as book covers. This research is expected to be a reference for design cover designs for designers, especially in the book cover series design.
