Diary of a Wimpy Kid 1. I feel that the elements and principles of art really work here, as this book is more or less taken by an awkward middle-schooler who tries to fit in. And, this image, for me, perfectly represents his life in a very clever way, having the book look like an actual diary and have a torn-out piece of paper taped on the front. 2. I feel the typography & illustration was great, as the stylized version of Diary of a Wimpy Kid is present and the words and image looks very written out, like if it was by a middle-schooler. Except diary, which is probably supposed to be part of Greg's book. 3. The title itself and the fact that it claims to be 'a novel in a cartoon' would be enough information to get anyone's attention. However, I think there's more than that. I think why this book resonates with people is cause I'm certain that people have owned diaries before, and have been awkward in middle school before. So this is probably really relatable to them. 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diary_of_a_Wimpy_Kid

To Kill A Mockingbird 1. In principles and elements of art, the style is very easy to follow and easy to get pulled into as a teenager. The simplicity of the drawing with just a tree actually reminds me of children's books that do this kind of artistic view. It's very interesting, considering that this is an adult book. 2. In terms of typography and illustration...It's okay, I guess. Nothing special here, but it's far from the worst. I mean, it's just italicized words with two different colors. Not too special, to me. 3. Since the simplicity of the design and typography, it'll easily tie in new and old faces to the book and let them enjoy it's cast and settings of their world. 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/To_Kill_a_Mockingbird

I Funny: A Middle School Story 1. In principles and elements of art, the style is very nice and quirky. Having read to book myself, I can certainly tell that the style of the cover shiners through the rest of the book. 2. In terms of typography and illustration, it's great! It actually reminds me of a joke book cover, actually. Which is good, since this books is aiming for people with a great sense of humor. Not to mention that the typography is fun and quirky itself. 3. As it looks like a joke book, which kids tend to love, and has fun and quirky elements, it'll surely draw the attention of the targeted audience and maybe even draw in some old viewers. 4. http://www.jamespatterson.com/books/i-funny#.WFLmhpMrJBw
