Good Book Cover

This books cover was somewhat successful in capturing the books main idea. The book is about a man sent on a journey involving greek gods and other mystical beings. The cover incorporates the style of greek paintings giving the idea that its gonna be about some greek mythology.
I like how from up close it looks just like dots of different colors but from a distance it looks like a skull showing the bigger picture. I like the repetition of the similar shapes to make a giant picture which was very creative. The dark background and skull sets a very dark and scary tone about the book which probably involves death.
I like how this one relates to my era and generation because our generation uses text as our main form of communication. This typography is a combination of text like boxes. The background is very plain. I just thought that this one was very relatable because of how our society is caught up in technology which seemed relavent.
I like the cover incorporates an image in the title which was very unique because the image is commonly associated with a word which is part of the title. The Crow's Vow.
This cover was funny because the image looks like a stereotype of a typical "white guy" banker like the title makes it seem like. I also like the comic styled drawing for the cover. The type also varies with the words white guy to emphasize them which makes the reader think more about the stereotype.
I like how simple this cover looks white a picture of just a water droplet on a red wall. I think the cover is symbolic and makes me think that the droplet is a tear and since the background is red it makes me think of death so i think the book is about someone being effected negatively by someones death. The all have solid background colors and an image in the front. The type for the title is very small and at the bottom drawing more attention to the drawing.

  1. I like the cover of The Crow's Vow. It's cool how there is an image within the title, and makes it stand out from other books.

  2. I like Mr Peanut because it uses color and circles to make one picture
