Book+Cover+Design+2014+Collins



I feel that these covers are in terms of the elements and principles of art because they all have about three main colors in their scheme and this allows for a clean and organized look. Also, they have specific alignment; Twilight and Numbers has their photo centered and focused in the middle while Mind Gym has its focal point off to the side. Each design is effective in its own respect and draws the eye to the title as well. Also, the title stands out because it is either light text against a dark background or the other way around. The title is clearly displayed and easy to read as it goes well with the photo that is used as the cover. The customers attention would be grabbed by the Mind Gym book because of the intense expression on the athletes face that almost seems to be looking directly at the reader. The eyeball on Numbers is a striking red color not to mention the fact that eyes are never red to begin with. The Twilight book is an attention grabber mainly because its an odd photo: two pale hands holding an apple. It strikes curiosity. There is emphasis on all the right elements in each of these covers and they each have rhythm/movement that guides the eyes to the titles.
