Book+cover-Emily

The first book, Pieces of light is a good book cover to me because of the way it catches your eye. The contrast between the blue and black and the black and white catch you eye well and draw you in. The designer of this book cover also has balance. The typography of this cover is very clean cut witch gives the book a clean and simple feeling. When I see this cover I don't think horror I think more along the lines of a self help book or a happier story. The second book, what she doesn't know uses a dramatic picture to catch the eye of readers.The image itself along with the font of the title create an creepy mood. The picture is dark and hazy creating a creepy feel. The type is blurry and breaking symbolizing that everything is not perfect. This book cover is perfect inspiration for the book that I am doing thats another reason I picked it. My book, Unwind is very creepy and so is the current title, I want to keep my new cover the same way. The last book cover example, About a boy is a good example of a fully stretched image that is on the cover and the back. I like this cover because of that and because of the contrast the spine and title block have. The image itself on the cover and the back also draw your eye to it because it is symmetrical and has great rhythm and unity thought the back and the cover. The typography is very clean and tall this makes the book again seem non harmful, nothing scary.
