Book+Covers-Emma+Jansen



This book caught my eye as I was scrolling through the internet. Part of the reason may have been because I am a girl and always go for any sort of sappy love story book, but also because of its interesting contrast with color. I do think this book is drawing in young teen girls who are looking for that good romantic book. I think it does this based on the title and image used. It gives a sense of mystery and fantasy. The contrast between the black dress and background to the pale skin and white smoke really draws my attention. The font used for the title and the balance in size of the title versus the rest of the text on the cover balances out. I think the title is a major focal point and sets the scene of what the book is about.

This was yet another book cover that caught my eye because of its creativity and uniqueness. It was appealing, fun, and really drew me in. I think the aim for readers of this book was to younger teenager of any age or just anyone looking to laugh and enjoy an easier read. The division of the three sections was something very interesting. The colors complement each other perfectly and the bold lettering grabs your attention. There is good symmetrical yet asymmetrical balance of the cover and makes each section a major focal point so that you have to look at everything that is going on. I think the cover also sets the scene for what is to come inside the novel.



This book is probably trying to grab the attention of any “lucky” readers. This is easy to tell through the setup of the cover. The author’s name is larger than the actual title of the book. Although it seems that the title should be larger, the authors name is very important in selling this book because of how famous and popular he is. As far as the image in the background, I think its contrast between shades of dark and light is good. The deep blue sky filled with stars resembles the idea of luck and wishes. That little shooting star makes the cover for me. It is the slightest detail that makes the customer intrigued and curious. Overall the use of different shapes to create an asymmetrical design works well, and I especially love the angle of the photograph; taken looking up into the sky from below to give the affect of hopes and dreams.
