The Martian by Andy Weir has some superb cover design, with a wonderful simplistic design that conveys the story's loneliness and setting very well, in futuristic font. The centered astronaut gives the work a singular focus, like the book itself. The use of red to yellow hue looks very nice. The text is minimalist and states its intent very well.

Infinite Jest also has a simple cover, using the edges of the cover to kind of provide a feeling of "massiveness", as the word is too large to fit on the screen even diagonally. It conveys the message that the story is about, which is the power of the human nature and the small role we have in it. The title is in big, contrasting font while the rest is in smaller font, to convey that the book is more about itself than what it is written by.

American psycho also has a clear topic, the humanoid monster creature that conveys protagonist Patrick Bateman very well... Haunting, and impossible to look away, it shows the nature of the main character against a red background that is alarming instead of calming or happy. The painted art style also hint at the sophisticated veneer of the story but concealing its ghastly true theme. The title is in a separate area from the picture to clearly show the word and the text, which is in a simple text like the story's business cards are in.
