Greene+Book+Research

Explain why you feel the covers are good in terms of the elements and principles of art, the typography and the illustration. Tell how the book grabs the attention of the customer. Use your art vocabulary when you discuss your book covers The first book cover is a good cover because the pictures and the text go great with each other and do not overpower each other. The white text stands out greatly from the black background which is a great element of design. The illustration stands out on the black background as well and attracts the customers attention. The second book cover has a great design and has the text over the photograph unlike the first book cover. The text does not overpower the photograph and the same goes for the background not overpowering the text. The rule of thirds is evident in the 2nd book cover and also grabs the attention of the customer. The third cover has great use of color and emphasis on the words. Having the white background definitely helped with making the text and photography pop out and the subtitle definitely gives the customer more insight to what the book is about. The last cover has great use of color as well, using colors that blend together and do now clash with the text. Having the face reflecting in the dagger attracts and grabs the customers attention as well.
