Book Covers

Most of these covers are colorful and are pictures. By using pictures, it makes the book look professional and the saying, "a picture can tell a thousand words" really applies. From a picture I can make so many different predictions about the book and a good picture makes me want to read a book more. All of these covers are in color except for one. The one that isn't in color is interesting because the picture relates to the title. The picture is of a gun pointed right at the reader and it is out there that it makes you want to know what is happening. The only one that isn't a picture is the book, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo".  I enjoy this cover a lot because it is just a beautiful design. This design is subtle compared to the other books but is just if not more impactful. The colors are eye-catching and the fading dragon in the background makes me stare at it. That cover is my favorite but all the covers are good and pretty. 

Will You Judge?

A really good book that I read this year was Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. The cover is of a Japanese girl in black and white. It fits perfectly with the book because the book can get pretty dark at times. There is something about using a picture in a cover that looks professional. The girl is seen near a window almost trapped which matches the theme of the story. Overall, very pretty.

Here's another cover for the same book. Like the previous cover, it is a picture but while the other cover is in black and white, this one is in color. The first was a single person while this cover shows two. This book is kind of a love story so while the other cover portrays a sense of loneliness, this cover portrays love. I think this cover is better because the color pops. It draws more attention to the book and makes someone want to read it more. Not to mention this cover advertises the movie version that is coming soon.
