The book I have chosen to design is Call of the Wild by Jack Ln little challenge, as most of the time the scenery described in the book is just white and covered in snow. (source - http://weburbanist.com/2013/04/09/recovering-literature-bold-classic-book-cover-redesigns/)

This cover design is simple, but I feel it has impact. It has a very clean look, but not necessarily empty. The use of a sans-serif font helps give it more of that impact, and the use of a match for the one and the striking surface on the spine help emphasize the plot of the book in a very cool way.

This cover for Homer's Odyssey really catches the eye of a reader in my opinion. The design is simple in a sense, but the colors give it a heavier feel. The repetitive lines in the water I feel give the design a bit more movement. The text is fitting and doesn't feel out of place, not too large or too small, and the reduced leading really seems to work here.

I think this is one of the more clever designs. The cover is no more complex than the title written across the front, but each one uses typography to feature a landmark from the city the book is named after. The I in Pisa represents the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the A in Paris is the Eiffel Tower, and the Os in London make the whole word look like a London bus. This doesn't reveal much about the book itself, nut would probably catch the eye of those who notice the cleverness of the cover.
