Book Cover

I think the book design successful in capturing the main idea of the book. The fact that the apple, flower, ribbon and the chess are red somehow relates to blood and vampire. The design is elegant and eye-catching. Since the background color is black, the red and white color very "pop up" and making it very stand-out.

I like this book cover because the use of color make the cover and it book title stand out more. The shapes surrounding the title make the title the focus point. Each shape has writing on it which I think it might be the main idea or some kind of connections related to the book. 


I was drawn into this book cover because it "pretty", the flower make the book title "pop out" and the flowers are 3-D. The different colors of the flower works well with the background color and it gives me a mode of love and nice feelings. The title "The Last Skin" makes me wonder why the designer choose to use flowers as a design .
I was attracted to this book cover because of the bright yellow and the mask & eyes. It makes me feel like someone is watching you. The design behind the mask is very detail and the image of tree and river could be relates to the book title "Harlequins". The fact that the font of book title is so small makes the the design the focal point and easily attract others.
I like this book cover because the use of color is simple, just black and green and the design is very cool. The lines create an image of tree which is very interesting. I also like there are some quote such as "where-there is life, there is faith" and it connects to the book title "Confession". It makes me think that the book might be about love story or relationship between female and male.
I love this book cover because it is pretty and fancy. The use of color is very bright. I was attracted to the beautiful design of the umbrella. The umbrella is a symbol that represent the book title "Spring, Heat, Rains". Each of the umbrella design is unique and elegant.  

With the five I choose, some common characteristics between them are that all the book cover is pretty and elegant. It has bright colors that makes the book title stand out. The difference between the book title is that the font and font size is different. Some design are simple and some includes complex pattern.

  1. I like the first and fourth book covers- for the first one, I think the color contrast is interesting, and helps it stand out. I also like how the fourth one is very simple. The colors used make the book cover look calming.

  2. I like the second book cover("The Last Skin") because the focal point is the title. The colors and flower petals makes the book seem casual which I prefer. Compared to your other book covers, I find this cover with the strongest focal point, the title. Because I like reading books about daily life, seeing the simplicity of the font and overall cover makes me feel interested about the book already.
