This book design did an excellent job and making eye candy and at the same time, mystery of what the book is. I think that the color choice and design of this book is excellent. The way that things are placed is an extraordinary way, however I feel as though the cover could be made slightly more interesting. I feel like it is lacking a few details and appears almost empty. What I really enjoy about this book is that the eyes and mouth at the center of the cover really just seems the right thing to have on a book like this. The Book is about a Yale graduate in 1922, Nick Carraway who serves as the novels narrator. Him and the other main characters hear about strange parties held by one Jay Gatsby, who is a young aloof rich man who never shows to his own parties. The book is filled with betrayal, romance, and excitement as the characters of the book find Gatsby more than they bargained for.

This book design and does an excellent job of portraying what the book is about by bolding the title under one of the book's featured creatures, the sea turtle. The title forces me to look at the sea turtle and the contrast of colors with the bright white wording makes me look at that. There really isn't much to this book cover other than a few bright colors and a wonderful animal that is just begging for me to open this book. The turtle appears to be looking at me. This book is about the creatures of the oceans around the world. Animals of the shallow waters, the deep ocean, and the dark abyss.

The design of this book is awesome in which there is n=only one detailed object that pops out in a mysterious and spooky way. I also like the fact that the blood red fork is bent, this makes me stare at it and try to make reasoning why it is like this, why is it red, what is going on in the story like I have to know. The cover does a great job and taking your eye and making you look at the cover. I love how the words are kind of a creepy and ominous font that caresses the fork and makes you read it to understand the title.

[|bookcoverarchive.com] The book cover that I will be designing is the novel //Traitor// by Andy McNab and Robert Rigby. Traitor is a suspenseful action packed struggle that takes place in England in modern times. The main character, 17 year old Danny Watts is in training to become an officer in the military but is denied because of his family history. Danny's grandfather, Fergus Watts, is a supposed traitor to the British government for drug trafficking when he was in the special forces. Angered, Danny takes his best friend, Elena, a computer hacker, to try and hunt down his grandfather and bring him to justice. Eventually, they do find him but he is not who they think he his. Fergus claims to have been framed all those years ago. Is he telling the truth? Or will lies lead to their doom?
