Book+COver+reserch



Fo the two on the sides, The type really matches the tone of the title of the book. Like the one on the left, Something Wickedly Weird, Has type that you would expect to see from a book with dark themes. The illustration also goes well with the book because it looks like the title implies: weird and wicked. the black figures on the cover give off the wicked feeling the book goes for, and the unknown relationship between the two figures on the cover is the weird part. The one on the far right, Sisters Red, also does a good job in terms of illustration. The two faces on the cover are obviously the two sisters, but the hair of the black haired sister hides the face of a wolf inside it, which implies theres something more sinister going within the pages of the book. The book in the middle, The Horns of Ruin, has a great illustration that goes with the theme of the book, however it doesn't really fit the title. This is acceptable, however, since both the the title and the illustration fit the theme of the book. All three of these books covers capture the attention of the customer because what do book covers do? They make you curious. For example, like i stated with Sisters Red, the wolfs face on the cover implies theres more to this book than one might imagine if the wolf face wasn't there, something sinister. This implements a sense of curiosity within the customer that makes them wan to know what exactly happens and what the wolf has to do with the sisters, or what he sisters have to do with each other. If you're into something darker looking, Something Wickedly Wild may catch your eye. There is clearly some sort of conflict between the two figures on the cover, the man and the wolf, which makes you want to know what happened to cause his conflict and how its resolved. The girl on the cover of The Horns of Ruin is the obvious eye catcher here. Her job here, much like the other two books, is to caue the customer to become curious with who she is and what her role in the book is. Why is she holding a gun? is she fighting someone? Is it for something else? what happened to her arm? All good questions that only the contents of the book can answer.
