 * A Clockwork Orange:** I feel that this cover's most prominent strength is it's simplicity and minimal art style. Plus, it utilizes some of the art elements and principles. It uses emphasis by making the background mostly plain and the only thing of importance is the design of the main character in the middle of the cover. It also uses color to give the cover a larger variety. The cover is also good with both illustration and typography because it keeps it simple and doesn't go over the top. It grabs the attention of the customer by giving focus to the middle of the cover and making the overall cover look simplistic and colorful.


 * The Teleportation Accident:** This cover is beautiful in terms of the design and creativity of the overall design. This cover heavily uses balance, as the cover is split up into 4 small sections that split up the design of the book, but also complete it at the same time. It also uses value to highlight certain parts of the cover (such as the face in the middle). The illustration of the cover is beautiful and detailed, while the typography is also interesting. This will be able to grab the attention of a customer because of the cover's unique design.


 * He Died With His Eyes Open:** The cover is very unique in terms of it's design. The cover gives a lot of emphasis on the drawing of the cassette player with eyes being slowly broken in the middle of the cover, intentionally giving no detail to the background. This causes the cover to have some sense of Harmony as well, as since it's only focusing on one particular thing, everything basically fits together and nothing is out of place or just odd.


 * Book Sypnosis:** //The True Meaning of Smekday// follows the planet Earth being completely taken over by an alien race known as the Boov. Various humans (mostly adults) are abducted and relocated to Flordia, the world leaders are forced to surrender control over to the Boov, and humanity appears to be doomed. However, 6 months after the initial invasion, a young girl named Gratuity Tucci sets out to find her mother, who was separated from her when the invasion began. Things turn for the worse when she's forced to team up with a rouge Boov, who's being hunted down by the rest of his species, and another alien race called the Gorg, who appear to seek to invade Earth in a similar fashion to the Boov.
